THE COMPLAINTS by Ian Rankin

Finished Fr 6/17/11

Malcolm Fox is a police detective in the 'Professional Standards Unit' of the Edinburgh, Scotland police department. His sister's partner has been recently murdered, and Fox is in the middle of an investigation of a murder/suicide of a mafia connected real estate developer, and he finds himself caught up as a suspect in this crime. He engages the help of a fellow detective who is being looked at for phony pedophilia/'kiddie porn'computer charges.

All paths cross, re-cross, and leave your head spinning, but this is a compelling novel by the author of the John Rebus series.

Once again, Rankin writes a stand-alone novel which is very much worth a look.
