Well, I use basically two books for anything related probability and statistics.

'Probability, An Introduction', by Geoffrey Grimmett and Dominic Welsh But it is truly an introduction so if you have already experience with probability theory it may not be for you.

'An introduction to mathematical statistics', by Fetsje Bijma , Marianne Jonker and Aad van der Vaart Again quite introductory to statistics but it is very well written and has quite some insight regarding applications.
