Moving away from Ireland, I picked up The Russian Passenger, by Günter
Ohnemus (trans. by John Brownjohn). It's from Bitter Lemon, which really
seems to have a great list. I'd never heard of this author or title, but
I liked it a lot. It's narrated by a Munich taxi driver (Harry) who
picks up a Russian woman (Sonia) who wants to go to the airport. She's
kind of nervous and seems to be afraid of being followed. . . .
The tone is very engaging and the
English reads beautifully. I'd definitely read more by Ohnemus if I
could get it. Oh, and the ending is definitely noir in my opinion.

Interesting note from Googling:
Günter Ohnemus is the translator for Richard Brautigan and Raymond Carver..
