The Complaints Rankin, Ian

**The Complaints by Ian Rankin - Preloved Crime Thriller**

Meet Malcolm Fox, the copper nobody likes – he's Internal Affairs, the guy who investigates dirty cops. When his own colleagues become suspects in a sleazy nightclub scandal, Fox finds himself navigating Edinburgh's murky underworld where loyalty means everything and trust gets you killed.

Rankin ditches his famous Rebus for this gritty standalone, exploring corruption, family dysfunction, and moral ambiguity with his trademark Scottish noir style. The creator of Inspector Rebus proves he's got plenty more tricks up his sleeve, delivering psychological tension alongside proper detective work.

Perfect for crime fiction addicts, Tartan Noir fans, and anyone who enjoys morally complex protagonists. If you love procedurals with bite or authors like Val McDermid and Stuart MacBride, you'll devour this.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has lived a little – just like Fox himself.

*"Rankin's writing is sharp and Fox is brilliantly flawed. Couldn't put it down!"*
*"Finally, a police thriller that doesn't treat readers like idiots. Excellent stuff."*
