The Leader by Gillian Freeman - not exactly new, but republished-for-the-first-time-in-fifty-years-and-yet-feels-like-it-was-written-last-Tuesday. It's a black comedy about the rise of a neo-Fascist party in Britain, led by a manic-depressive bank clerk.

The Last Police Man by Ben Winters - the story of a police detective who decides to keep investigating cases even though the world is scheduled to be pulverized by an asteroid in a couple months.
