    I would say the Fifth Witness by Michael Connolly. I love all of his books, so I could read it after my husband was finished with it!

    The Keith Richards book would be my pick! It would be perfect for the new dad in my life, my son. He has always loved the Stones and I'd love to give him that book --- (when he'll have time to read it with two babies is anybody's guess!)

    I think he, actually both my dad and my husband, will be most interested in THE FIFTH WITNESS. THE RIDGE sounds good, but I think that would be my favorite, not his.
