Just finished listening to John Scalzi's "The Dispatcher", which was an Audible freebie last October. Has a noir-ish feel. And an interesting premise - that 999 out of 1000 times, if a person is murdered, they pop back, naked but otherwise in whatever physical state they'd been in a few hours before their death. Kind of mind-bending to have that plot twist going on in a story that had that gum-shoe feeling. I liked it, and I'm now disappointed to find out it's a standalone. I was hoping it was an intro to a new series!
