I recently finished The Last Passenger by Manel Loureiro and Rhe Forgotten Man by Amity Shlaes. The Last Passenger was very good at establishing a vaguely creepy atmosphere and it's a thriller that I'd read again.
I'm not sure how I'd rate The Forgotten Man. I had a hard time keeping track of the many people involved in this history of the 1929 stock market crash and the New Deal. I do understand much better how Ayn Rand would have come to write Atlas Shrugged after I read about the various attempts by both Hoover and FDR to manipulate economic conditions.
