URGENT-Need Fictionwise Recommendations

Okay, I'd like to zero out my Fictionwise micropay account before this wonderful 50% off coupon expires. I have hours, not days.

My problem is this: I'm geographically restricted from buying Random House books. So I guess this leaves the independents, which I'm perfectly willing to try.

Here are a list of my favorite books and authors for reference:

John le Carré
Graham Greene
Alan Furst
Martin Cruz Smith
Philip Roth
Gore Vidal
Gabriel García Márquez
Peter Carey
Patricia Highsmith
Paul Auster
The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson
Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Høeg
Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow
The Angels of Russia by Patricia le Roy
Prague by Arthur Phillips
Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier
The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
Waiting by Ha Jin
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett

Based on that list, what would you recommend? If you're unsure, just recommend your favorite independent book that is available from Fictionwise.

I'm flying a bit in the dark here, so I'd really appreciate your help. I'm guessing I have enough micropay credits for about 4 or 5 books.
