Just stared Bleed for Me by Michael Robotham, the latest in the Joe O'Loughlin series. I've read a few of these and have liked them. This one's off to a good start.

I've been on a Mike Carey marathon these past few weeks, now listening to the fourth (of five) in the Felix Castor series. Carey is a fantastic writer. Castor is a ghost hunter/exorcist in London in the middle part of the first decade of the 21st century, and the dead are rising, as ghosts, zombies, demons, and more. You won't be disappointed. Ok, you might be. So sue me. The first three books were narrated by Michael Kramer, and his narration just sucks you in. Together with Carey's writing, you can really lose yourself in the story. Numbers four and five are narrated by Damian Lynch, and I'm not happy with his approach. By the way, while the books are probably okay as free-standing novels, it's best to read them in order. Check his page on wikipedia for the details.
