Synopsis
Working for the internal investigations department--known as "The Complaints" and, even better, "The Dark Side" within the police force--doesn't do much for Malcolm Fox's social life. Although Malcolm believes in the work, he often feels like he is fighting a series of losing battles. His latest challenge is to dig up real dirt, the kind that would stand in court, on a notoriously corrupt cop named Jamie Breck, who is suspected of pedaling child pornography. Meanwhile a family affair turns violent and Malcolm becomes a murder suspect himself. A gripping police investigation draped with complex moral questions, THE COMPLAINTS is another winner from Ian Rankin.
Publisher's Note
Nobody likes The Complaints--they're the cops who investigate other cops. It's a department known within the force as "The Dark Side," and it's where Malcolm Fox works. He's a serious man with a father in a nursing home and a sister who persists in an abusive relationship, frustrating problems about which he cannot seem to do anything.
Then the reluctant Fox is given a new case. There's a cop named Jamie Breck, and he's dirty. The problem is, no one can prove it. As Fox takes on the job, he learns that there's more to Breck than anyone thinks--dangerous knowledge, especially when a vicious murder takes place far too close to home.
In THE COMPLAINTS, Rankin proves again why he is one of the world's most beloved and bestselling crime writers, mixing unstoppable pacing with the deeper question of who decides right from wrong.
Industry Reviews
"Even for Rankin, who lives to obfuscate, this is a dense and complicated plot, featuring desperate mobsters and the crooked cops who would like to help them out. But it's a good introduction to the sober Fox and his younger partner, Jamie Breck...."

"No bells and whistles here, just the satisfaction of a finely crafted story."
