Synopsis
The Complaints: that's the name given to the Internal Affairs department who seek out dirty and compromised cops, the ones who've made deals with the devil. And sometimes the Complaints must travel.
A major inquiry into a neighboring police force sees Malcolm Fox and his colleagues cast adrift, unsure of territory, protocol, or who they can trust. An entire station-house looks to have been compromised, but as Fox digs deeper he finds the trail leads him back in time to the suicide of a prominent politician and activist. There are secrets buried in the past, and reputations on the line.
In his newest pulse-pounding thriller, Ian Rankin holds up a mirror to an age of fear and paranoia, and shows us something of our own lives reflected there.

Review
Rankin juggles all of these plots with consummate ease and brings the whole thing to a truly exciting conclusion. This is lean, addictive stuff, and it will leave even the most diehard Rebus fan wanting more.
-- "Washington Post"Narrator Peter Forbes ably wraps his tongue around a series of Scots brogues and crisp British accents...Forbes's accents and characters are multidimensional.
-- "AudioFile"Rankin deftly balances welcome surprises and satisfyingly predictable developments. Mainly, though, he succeeds in making methodical Fox a worthy successor to the legendary Inspector John Rebus.
