An excellent (whether or not you agree with its conclusions)
recent book on free will is:

  Metaphysics of Free Will

  Description: Explains the sort of control that is associated with
  personhood and accountability, and shows how it is consistent with
  causal determinism (or God's existence). Thus, our view of ourselves
  as morally responsible agents can be protected against the challenges
  posed by science and religion.
