I liked that Murder in Miami, its great collection to read.

Re: What books are you reading at the moment
I just finished The Scarab Murder Case, a Philo Vance mystery by SS Van Dine... Ol' Philo is kind of the red-headed stepchild of detectives these days despite being very popular in the 1920s... He's pretty tiresome and Van Dine has many irritating tics as a writer... But lordy I couldn't put the damn thing down, and the plot was actually very surprising and well-crafted without resorting to Agatha Christie tricks (where the whole thing is solved with secret info the reader has never been privy to).
I'm also reading The Dark Frontier by Eric Ambler, his first novel - kind of John le Carre meets The Prisoner of Zelda, so far... Lots of fun.
