I nominate "A Small Death in Lisbon", which is apparently some local phenomenon now because someone at Elliot Bay listed it as a staff recommendation and has held the top spot in sales there for months.
In keeping with the contemporary works in translation theme from book 2, I also nominate "The Seducer" -- from the Seattle P-I review: "His wife's murder sets off a picaresque journey of mystery, discovery and remembrance for a famed European TV documentary producer, a celeb noted for his unerring success with women. This creative and enthralling mega-novel won Scandinavia's highest honor and is the first American translation of a work by one of Norway's (and Europe's) reigning masters of fiction."
