9. Blacklist by Sara Paretsky
This is a book that I've had on my shelf for a long time but hadn't read yet. I really liked the V.I. Warshawski movie and read one of the books, and then I saw this on a bookstore clearance shelf and picked it up but never got around to reading it. It's set after 9/11 and deals with detainment of foreigners from Arab countries a little, but mostly it's just a typical mystery/private eye book.
