Best Books on distressed debt investing and M&A

Hi Guys, I have been swamped with special situations assignments and M&A deals and was wondering what the best books are for both distressed debt investing (valuation) and M&A... If you know of any that incorporate excel, that would be great.

Thanks in advance.
