Author: Ian Rankin

This Ian Rankin book (on the Kindle) was written after he had retired the Rebus character, which I always enjoyed. The main character, Malcolm Fox, is with the team that investigates the misconduct of other police officers. When his sister’s partner is found murdered suspicion begins to rest with Malcolm and he is suspended. Malcolm, and the cop he was investigating at the time of his suspension, begins to piece together who is behind the murder and why they are both under investigation.

Although the story was interesting, the switch from cop-who-investigates-cops to the detective-on-the-street didn’t ring true to me.
