Birdman de Mo. Hayder
I downloaded this book as a Free Friday selection for my nook from Barnes and Noble. It took a bit to get into and it was a bit gory in parts, but all in all, it was a good read. I won't rush out to get the next book in the series, but at some point, I wouldn't mind reading more by this author.
It just now occurred to me that this is mostly a sort of ghoulish retelling of The Thin Man.
