Goodnight Tokyo by Atsuhiro Yoshida:
Set over several nights between 1:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., in and around Tokyo, this brilliantly crafted book presents an intricate, vibrant fresco of human nocturnal life in all its enigmatic splendour.
Blending the literary styles of Agatha Christie, Teju Cole, and Hieronymus Bosch, Goodnight Tokyo offers readers an unparalleled and intimate perspective on the city through the eyes of a diverse cast of vivid characters.
Despite their seemingly disparate lives, their fates are intricately intertwined, converging against the backdrop of Tokyo's neon-lit streets and quiet alleyways.

Westport by James Comey:
She's the lawyer, but now she's on trial.
A red canoe is found abandoned on Seymour Rock, where the Saugatuck River meets Long Island Sound. Inside lies the elegantly dressed corpse of a woman.
Nora Carleton left New York to become the lead counsel at Saugatuck Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. Her life there was slower and more predictable until her colleague and friend, Helen, was brutally murdered, making Nora the prime suspect.
In the months before Helen's death, she and Nora were investigating insider trading within the company. Nora believes this investigation is connected to Helen's murder and is determined to uncover the truth.
With the help of old colleagues, Mafia investigator Benny Dugan and attorney Carmen Garcia, Nora must find evidence to prove her innocence and avoid imprisonment.
