The Detective Up Late by Adrian McKinty
Everybody's favorite Northern Irish detective from Carrickfergus, Sean Duffy is down to his last case before he stops being head of CID and becomes a part timer. A tinker girl has gone missing and Duffy decides to pull out all the stops to find her. Then he finds her car at the bottom of a river and the missing persons case becomes a homicide. Turns out the girl was sleeping with men for money and they all become suspects.
Duffy still does a lot of alcohol and drugs to numb himself. He still has to check his BMW everyday for bombs planted by the IRA. He also has to deal with the fact he is moving across the Irish Sea to maybe safer digs. There are plenty of false trails and new mysteries on the trail of the killer.
It's a good solid mystery. Not quite as twisty as some of the previous chapters in his tale, but solid.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
