1989 (Allie Burns Series, Book #2) by Val McDermid
A stunning return to Val McDermid's acclaimed historical crime series, 1989 is a full-body immersion in a world gone by and an acute reminder of how history determines the present.
Allie Burns, a journalist with a decade's worth of experience under her belt, is running the northern news operation of Scotland's tabloid, Sunday Globe. She's chafing at losing her role in investigative journalism and at the descent into the gutter of the UK mass media. But there's plenty to keep her occupied. The year begins with the memorial service for the victims of the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, but Allie has barely filed her copy when she stumbles over a story about HIV/AIDS that will shock her into a major change of direction. The world of newspapers is undergoing a revolution, there's skullduggery in the medical research labs, and seismic rumblings behind the Iron Curtain. When murder is added to this potent mix, Allie will be called upon to chase a story that will take her further afield than she'd ever planned, and force her to question all her old certainties.
