A different take on the detective story. Set in 1719 during the South Sea Stock Bubble Crisis, A Conspiracy of Paper follows a former boxer as he tries to solve the murder of his father during the first days of the English stock market. Quite different, and not bad for a first-time novelist, either, assuming you like the genre.
Still, the best period thriller I've read in the last few years must be The World At Night by Alan Furst.
