I just finished the Kayankaya series by Jakob Arjouni, five books about a Turkish-German detective in Frankfurt starting in the mid-80's and running up through the early 2010's. Generally quite funny, a good look at the seedy side of Frankfurt, deals with a lot of interesting issues like human trafficking and nationalist groups from the Balkan wars of the 90's, and of course racism, while avoiding polemicism and generally being good thrillers. The fourth book Kismet is probably the best of them, though they are all good - reading them in order isn't strictly necessary but will definitely add something.

I am reading the Marseilles Trilogy (Total Chaos, Chourno, Solea) by Jean-Claude Izzo and it is extremely good, definitely recommend it to any fan of noir/hard boiled detective stories.

I'm not remotely a fan of Thatcher, but "grey and grotty" is Britain's natural state entirely regardless of who happens to be in power at any given time.
