The John Rebus series by Ian Rankin is one of my favorite detective series, and I eagerly await any new novel in the series.
Ian Rankin's John Rebus series just keep getting better. This one mixes Edinburgh politics with local prostitues and a media circus ensues. In the midst of the puzzle and mayhem is the roguishly wonderful John Rebus. You'll want to read right through to the end in one sitting.
