Tricky Twenty-Two by Janet Evanovich - bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking for a college student accused of attacking the dean of his college. Somehow this ties into the deaths of two business partners. I don't remember the earlier books being quite so sexual.

Wait for Signs: Twelve Longmire Stories by Craig Johnson - just what it says, 12 short stories about Walt. They just flesh out the character a bit. Some of them I had read in another publication.

The Chess Men by Peter May - the third in the Isle of Lewis trilogy. Fin Mcleon is now living on the Isle of Lewis and working as head of security on an estate. A freak act of nature leads to the discovery of a plane that disappeared many years ago flown by an old friend. Fin delves into his past to uncover the mystery. While this is supposed to wrap up the stories begun in the first two books, lots of new characters are introduced. And Fin still seems unsure of what he really wants.
