The Book of Lies - Brad Meltzer

That's better. As previously posted, I had an issue with Meltzer's first book - The Tenth Justice. This novel is much tighter, and the situation - well, OK, it's nuts, but I really liked it. Even though several characters are over the top and take bizarre actions (I'm thinking Naomi here), they all seem to have their own world view that they stay true to. The protagonist makes some mistakes, but they don't happen because he sacrifices his integrity, and they "work" - it's what he'd do.

This isn't "literature," but it's great fun.
