    Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    Check out Dan Simmons' three Joe Kurtz books. Hardcase, Hard Freeze and Hard as Nails. Great pulp noir.
