A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett
Bennett's world building is messed up in such a good way. It's the hallmark of all his works. We are back to the empire beset by Kaiju. This time Din and Ana are off to Yarrow to investigate the murder of a treasury person sent to Yarrow to discuss the absorption of Yarrow into the Empire. The book got more interesting as it went along. The solution to the first mystery happened really fast and was pretty simple, but there were questions which led to further mysteries. The whole story just kept getting weirder. And I liked it.
I will read a Bennett book as soon as it comes out.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
