I'm a little over halfway through Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton, and I'm really enjoying it.  The main portion of the story is a murder mystery - and the death may be connected to a previous murder years before.  Eyewitnesses describe the killer as an alien monster - but the expedition sent to the planet of St. Libra can't seem to find any trace of alien life.  Except someone keeps murdering members of the expedition in the humid jungle, and disappearing without a trace...

The Tease:

"Antrinell walked over, the lines on his round face emphasizing his dismay.  "I hate this weather," he grunted.  "I almost wish it would rain again."

 - Great North Road, by Peter F Hamilton
