ellarienLatest (in paperback, at least) in the Vlad Taltos series, in which Vlad heads back to his ancestral homeland in the East after the events of Teckla and the breakup of his marriage.
Vlad, still dealing with a lot of anger and consequently rather less good company than usual (for the reader as well as those around him) arrives in the town his mother came from, and blunders into a mess of murder and misunderstandings that ends up being one of the less fun times of his life even before the Jhereg come after him.
I really didn't like Vlad very much in this one; the murderous-thug side of his nature was decidedly in the ascendant, and we don't learn much more about Dragaeran society or meet most of our favorite Dragaeran characters.
