Not sure if there's any particular genre you like Gemo but of the stuff i've read recently i would recommend:
Dissolution by CJ Sansom (and the rest of the Matthew Shardlake series)
The Watchers by Jon Steele
The Lost Army of the Cambysis by Paul Sussman
and a book i always recommend The Rebel Angels by my favourite author Robertson Davies.
They are all well written (especially the last) and books where you read two sentences and you are lost in that world!!!
