Since you like crime novels, I just read" The Long Firm" by Jake Arnott, good London crime novel. George Pelecanos writes about Washington DC, everything I've read of his was good, his grocery list would probably be interesting, Loren Estleman writes hard boiled crime about Detroit in the vein of Raymond Chandler, and Chandler is still good some 70 years on. Dennis Lehane has written several good novels set in Boston, Boston Massachusetts I mean. Not "Mystic River" , perhaps because Sean Penn's scenery chewing in the movie was so over the top. "Gone Baby, Gone" was a better book.
