The Complaints - Ian Rankin

In his first police procedural novel, since retiring Rebus, Rankin introduces a new character Malcolm Fox. Fox works for "The Complaints" the police department that investigates other police officers.Fox is less of a loner than Rebus and less bad tempered but like Rebus he is cerebral cop with a strong sense of justice.For those who are still mourning Rebus Fox is an interesting new character who I'm sure Rankin will flesh out and develop.Another success for one of crime fiction's most literary writers, highly recommended
