Can you guys recommend me a good thriller/noir book? I'm a sucker for the whole "private eye, almost empty metropolitan setting during a fiery hot summer" atmosphere
>>
Derek Raymond's Factory novels are very good.

If you want cold war Le Carre's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold is pretty great, as are the first 10 or so Bond books.
Alistair Maclean has some great stuff, The Guns of Navarone and pic related being my favorite, while his later stuff is much more pulpy.
Robert Ludlum's stuff was always good, the first Bourne novel being excellent and The Holcroft Covenant being a good one. Trevanian's Eiger Sanction is one of my all time favorites as well.
Graham Greene's Gun for Hire is my favorite pure noir book. The Mask of Dimitrios and The Man from St. Petersburg are other decent ones.

I've been reading a lot of Scandinavian noir. Start with the Wallender series and then explore. Joe Nesbo is alright. Just started The Return by Hakan Nesser. Not bad so so far.
