The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes by Marcus Sakey. Interesting fact about Sakey: he looks like Neil Gaiman. So, when you're in between espresso breaks at the annual ALA convention and see Neil Gaiman all dressed in black browsing the publisher booths it might not be Neil Gaiman. It might be Marcus Sakey pretending to be Neil Gaiman. Don't buy any "signed" books.
