Great book. Pulitzer Prize winner, actually.
Love the metaphors he uses.
Kinda sad, just to forewarn you.
The Fix by David Baldacci is one that I just finished. Easy to read, fast paced, and just a great thriller.
It is part of a series, but there's enough background in the book that you don't need to read the previous two (although ALL of them are good, so I highly recommend reading them all).
