by Jack McDevitt. The most recent of his Alex Benedict series. Some ten thousand years from now humans have interstellar travel and have colonized lots of worlds. Only one other still living intelligent species has ever been found. In this book they are trying to figure out just what caused the disappearance of a research station that was studying a black hole. Basically it's a Whodunnit with a science fiction angle.

I like almost everything he's written.
