Product Description

Nobody likes The Complaints - they're the cops who investigate other cops. Complaints and Conduct Department, to give them their full title, but known colloquially as 'the Dark Side', or simply 'The Complaints'. Malcolm Fox works for The Complaints. He's just had a result, and should be feeling good about himself. But he's middle-aged, sour and unwell. He also has a father in a care home and a sister who persists in an abusive relationship. In the midst of an aggressive Edinburgh winter, the reluctant Fox is given a new task. There's a cop called Jamie Breck, and he's dirty. Problem is, no one can prove it. But as Fox takes on the job, he learns that there's more to Breck than anyone thinks. This knowledge will prove dangerous, especially when murder intervenes.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A must read, Nov. 21 2009
This review is from: Complaints (Paperback)
Ian Rankin's new book Complaints is a must read. We were all sad to see Rebus retire and somewhat disappointed with Rankin's new cop in Doors Open, which was a serialised book written for the New York Times and read that way. Rankin has created a brand new character, Malcolm Fox who unlike Rebus doesn't drink anymore. He is a member of the Complaints and Conduct department in Edinburgh's police force, which investigates wrongdoing by his colleagues. As someone who lived in Edinburgh I appreciate Rankin's writing which continues to paint a lovely but sometimes gritty picture of the city's locales. In true Ian Rankin fashion the book is a real page turner.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The Complaints, Nov. 25 2009
Par Ted Feit (Long Beach, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Complaints (Paperback)
This new novel by Ian Rankin is what is hoped is the first in a new series, introducing Inspector Malcolm Fox. It must be said without further ado that John Rebus, declared by the author to have made his last appearance in print [newly published, that is], will be sorely missed. But his new protagonist promises to be equally splendid and sure to quickly find a place in the hearts of Mr. Rankin's myriad fans.

There are many similarities between the two Edinburgh cops, among these a history of drinking and a broken marriage. Fox has been five years dry; he has a father in a care home, and a sister in what can best be described as an abusive relationship, both being important in his life, but the latter becoming central to his job. He has worked for the past 4-1/2 years for the Complaints and Conduct department of Lothian & Borders Police, more particularly the Professional Standards Unit, referred to variously as The Complaints or, more informally, The Dark Side, the equivalent of the Internal Affairs Bureau in the US, cops who investigated other cops. The "other cops" tend to look at those in The Complaints with disdain, and Fox is told at one point "Stick to watching the detectives, Malcolm. Let us other cops do the real work."

Fox's nickname was "Foxy," "but he didn't think of himself that way. 'A bear of a man' - that's the way one of his previous bosses had described him. Slow but steady, and only occasionally to be feared." The supporting cast in the current book includes colleagues Tony Kaye and Joe Naysmith, CID head "Bad Billy" Giles, DCS Adam Traynor, and DC Gilchrist and DS Annie Inglis, both with the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Dept. [CEOP]. Fox is assigned to assist CEOP in its investigation of a suspected paedophile within CID, of one of whose members he had just successfully concluded an investigation. But a conflict of interest develops when that same suspect heads an investigation of a murder very close to home. Fox finds there is more than one person in his circle who may not be what [s]he seems, and as things go on he doesn't know who he can trust.

The book jacket describes the novel is "an inquiry into personal morality, private vice, friendship, and the state of the nation." A grand claim, perhaps, but no less true for that. Just as wonderful a read as the author's previous novels, Rebus or otherwise, it is highly recommended, and I say without hesitation "Welcome Malcolm Fox!"
