I recently read and recommend More Beer by Jakob Arjouni, a German crime noir classic from the late 80s out now in the US in translation from Melville House. Outsider Turkish detective Kemal Kayankaya navigates prejudice, eco-terrorists and Establishment corruption in staid West Germany with gruff DIY attitude. I'll have a review of it up soon over at Noir Journal.

I just started Lumen by Ben Pastor. In 1939, in Nazi-occupied Poland, a American priest from Chicago and a German army captain investigate a nun's death. It's good so far with well-drawn characters.
