The Complaints is the searing new major post-Rebus novel from Ian Rankin.

Synopsis

Who decides right from wrong?

Nobody likes The Complaints - they're the cops who investigate other cops. It's where Malcolm Fox works. He's just had a result, and should be feeling good about himself, but he's a man with problems: his new job is Jamie Breck, a dirty cop but no one can prove it. As Fox takes on the job, he learns that there's more to Breck than anyone thinks.

Reviews and Press Quotes

Karen Robinson, The Sunday Times

“Malcolm Fox (dry alcoholic, divorced, lives in a 'bachelor beige' bungalow) is a policeman whose unpopular job it is to investigate his colleagues' misdeeds. His dad is in a home, his sister’s boyfriend is knocking her about. Hardly exciting, actually a bit depressing, which makes Fox a bit of a gamble by Rankin, but before you wonder where the inventor of boozy, mouthy Rebus is going with his new hero, it quickly gets complicated, murky and, at times, hard to follow.

We’re in recession-hit 2009 Edinburgh, and the travails of a property developer in serious financial deficit to some very nasty people become central to the unraveling of several mysteries, not least of which is who wants to discredit Fox. He’s not the only new character Rankin has introduced to Edinburgh's police force, teaming up with the thoroughly modern detective Jamie Breck - posh, ambitious, online gamer - in a partnership that begins in a grippingly tense cat-and-mouse standoff.”
