Book Log 2024 #48: Gun Street Girl by Adrian McKinty

When a murder-suicide crosses Sean Duffy's desk, he suspects that there's more to the story than meets the eye, and he's right. Very right. His investigation uncovers events taking place at the highest reaches of government, and threaten to put some very poweful people in the soup.

And that's when MI5 show up looking to take him off the case.

It felt like this is what the previous three books was building towards, with each case putting Duffy just a little deeper into the nexus of politics and crime, but now with personal consequences that can match the professional.  

I'm hopeful that this series goes long enough to transition me off of John Rebus once Ian Rankin allows him to retire (like that will ever happen).
