I'd be tempted by The Great Passage if it weren't a translation--how can a book about linguistics not lose something?
Most likely I'll go with Dead Certain, by default, though I'm wary about how much of a "psychological thriller" it is, with an attorney and a police detective in the forefront. Plus the blurb's mention of said attorney's nighttime singing gigs doesn't seem to connect to the rest of the description.
