I'm not typically prone to raving about books that I've read, but I picked up Jeffery Deaver's "The Vanished Man" in an airport to read on flights last week, and it was one of the better escapist fiction books I've read in quite a while. Sort of a multiple-murder-mystery thing where the perp is a serious magician, employing all sorts of misdirections and "sleight of mind" tricks.

Highly recommended if you're trying to decide what to grab off the airport bookshelf in a hurry sometime soon... ;-)
