1979 (Allie Burns #1) by Val McDermid.

This is the author's new series with Allie Burns as the main character. Allie is an investigative journalist at the Clarion. The Clarion is a step in the right direction for her but she has further to go on her way up. Danny Sullivan is a co-worker with ambition but lacks the writing ability of Allie. The two of them start to team up after a chance encounter on a train that brings them to their first partnership at the Scottish daily paper.
Danny has a nose for news and the dares to invade a den of thieves that his brother Joseph works for and with. Allie is the partner that puts Danny's actions into words before its okayed and sent to press. To say sparks fly with this first endeavor is putting it mildly, but fly they do in every direction.
The next endeavor brings us into the political season in Scotland during 1979.
McDermid did her homework and then some on bringing us back to that year of typewriters, no cell phones, no computers and the political forecast. Allie is a character I can continue to follow. She's full dimensional with vulnerabilities in relationships as well as a budding career. This author is hands down one of the best. Highly recommend reading this her latest enterprise.
