Wolf Pack by CJ Box

Latest in the Joe Pickett series - number 19 I believe. It's a solid entry, but at this point the series isn't breaking much new ground and is a bit formulaic. The series is still good enough that I'll keep up with further installments.

Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard

I've not read Leonard before, but Jackie Brown is one of my favorite movies, so I thought I'd read the book on which it is based. The movie has the same general plot as the book, but differs in some details (for instance, Jackie is white in the book and her name is Jackie Burke).  The book is excellent.

Submission by Michel Houellebecq

Written in 2015, this a novel set in the early 2020's in France. It tells the story of a university professor caught up in the transformation of France into an Islamic State. An excellent story and a quick read.
