Gunrunner

A murder at the airport leads two detectives to an international crime ring in this " consistently good British police procedural" series ( Booklist).   On Christmas Day, Det. Chief Inspector Harry Brock's celebrations are interrupted when he is called to a murder at Heathrow Airport. Kerry Hammond was due to fly out to New York with her husband—but never made it further than the car park. Brock and his sidekick, DS Dave Poole, put Kerry's husband at the top of their suspect list, but the case becomes increasingly complex, and they find themselves embroiled in a complex case of smuggling that stretches from the South of France to Central London.   Writing as always "for readers who enjoy their mysteries laced with witty dialogue and lightly comedic moments," Graham Ison delivers another delightful package of mystery ( Booklist).
