RAVE - Rough Country, by John Sandford

Polished this off in less than a day, and while it's not the best detective novel I've ever read, it was a pleasure to read something that made sense and was well thought through, unlike the Scott Collins mess that so disappointed me yesterday.

While books by serial detective writers (James Patterson, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly et al) tend to meld into one, mostly formulaic stream, Rough Country had enough depth and detail to keep me interested throughout, and guessing to the last few pages.

Let's see if my next read, by the aforementioned Baldacci, can carry on the intrigue.
