I just read "The Limit, by Michael Cannell. It's the story of Phil Hill's championship year and is a terrific, if bittersweet, read. Subtitle is "Live and death on the 1961 Grand Prix circuit."

I really like the following authors, and buy the new additions to each series as soon as they publish:

Phillip Kerr, the Bernie Gunther series (begins when he's a cop in Berlin before WW II, goes on long after the war - the character actually ages, which is rather unusual).

Craig Johnson, the Walt Longmeier series (Longmeier is a sheriff in Wyoming, very well done).

Peter Bowen, the Gabriel Dupre series (beautifully atmospheric, Dupre is a brand inspector in Montana who "helps people."

Robert Crais - His two characters, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, are just great.
