Just finished Michael Palmer's Fifth Vial.

Like so many books, I found that this one was really good until about the last couple of chapters. Then it was like he thought, "ooh I bet I'd sell this to more people if I threw a romantic story line in. And hey! It would help me tie everything up if the two lovebirds could get together and talk about everything afterwards."

Which always seems so contrived to me.

Other than that, a stellar book, and a quick read.
