Girl Waits with Gun, Amy Stewart
The 2nd in the Harry Belltree trilogy and the book I finished this afternoon when I should have been working.

Detective Sergeant Harry Belltree, back on the job after a near-fatal confrontation with corrupt colleagues, has become a departmental embarrassment. The solution is a posting away from Sydney and a quiet life in Newcastle.
