The Japanese novel 'Out' by Natsuo Kirino is a remarkable piece of international crime fiction. It tells the story of four women who get involved in a murder. The book delves deep into the psychology of the characters and shows how their ordinary lives are turned upside down by this one event. It also gives an interesting view into Japanese society.

Henning Mankell's 'Wallander' series is also great. These books follow the Swedish detective Kurt Wallander as he solves various crimes. Mankell does an excellent job of portraying the detective's personal struggles along with the intricate crime plots. The settings in Sweden add a unique atmosphere to the stories.
