The Tenth Circle, by Jodi Piccoult

Not bad...an interesting new take on her tortured everyday people. The main character is a comic-book creator and illustrator, his wife is a scholar of Dante. Interspersed throughout the story are chapters of his comic book, and sort of journey through hell to save his daughter (mirroring real life, as you might imagine). Very much like her other books, but not a bad way to pass a few hours.
