Might give that @belief in Angels' a go I think, you cant much of a better review than the one you posted up Win

Currently reading 'Sign of the Cross' by Chris Kuzneski which is ok although if I was being extremely harsh I'd say the author thinks hes funnier than he is occasionally, but it moves along & is a decent read.
Got a few books in the pipeline including a few from one of those discount places which means some tend to be mediocre but you get the odd gem....I've picked a few up of George Pelecanos's in there & I think the blokes quality You'd enjoy him actually Win as he grew up in the 80's & is a real music fan & his tastes come through in all his books. For a crime fan in his 30's/40's I couldnt reccomend Pelecanos enough tbh.
Had a bit of a Scarrow trend on lately. I came across the one brother as he writes roman legionnaire stuff & I can be in the mood for that & Conn Iggulden now & again, although Bernard Cornwell tends to be a bit fuddy duddy for me but hes had his moments......anyway I digress Scarrow has a brother called Alex whos written a couple of books, one of which name escapes me but its about a foiled WW2 plot which is ok. His better book though is called 'Last Light', & you can tell by reading it thats its his lifes work. Its about a family drifting apart, grown up kids, husband & wife walking their own road etc etc......when something happens called 'Peak Oil Syndrome' which effectively means the oil flow is broken & within days it all gos 'Lord of the Flies'.....or New Orleans, whichever you prefer Hubbie knows his shit but he just happens to be in Afghanistan which is unlucky & he battles his way home as the world falls apart. I thought it was superb & would highly reccomend it.
What worried me was that I read that in the middle of a real 'apocalyptic' spell.......Michael McBrides 'Gods End, The Fall' (1st in a trilogy, very good but fcuking worrying) Cormac McCarthys 'The Road' (almost like a very long poem about 5 years after the bombs dropped off, could easily be read in one sitting if not drinking or on drugs, stunning) a couple of books called 'Monster Nation' & 'Monster Planet' which was effectively zombies taking over the world (yeah, they were cheap) watching 'I am Legend' on copy & possibly the strangest book I ever read, 'Cold Skin' by Albert Sanchez Pinol.......which has to be read to be believed. Something about some far flung island & a lighthouse keeper & a strange aquatic race which either kills you, fcuks you or dances for you.......madness

After that little lot I decided a break was required & read Paul MacGraths book.....only to realise there were more demons in that than the others put together
