If you like whodunnits, try the Lucas Davenport "Prey" novels by John Sandford. There's 14 or 15 in the series, set in Minniapolis/St. Paul. Another excellent series is the Hieronymous Bosch novels by Michael Connelly, set in LA.
If you want to see just how badly the Canadian justice system is screwed, try and find a copy of "Contempt Of Court" by Carsten Stroud. He's a reporter from Toronto who's also written a few whodunnits, notably "Sniper's Moon" and "Lizardskin."
They're out of print now but there are two books by Michael Magee, writing as Fred C. Dobbs, about the Trudeau years. The first is titled "The Golden Age Of BS" with the follow-up being "The Platinum Age Of BS." Try a good used book store or e-bay. Priceless.
There are some rather unique Canadian titles available from Great West Publishing about the early days of Canadian aviation. PM me and I'll give you a few titles if you like.
