Book description
Mustn't complain' - but people always do... Nobody likes The Complaints
- they're the cops who investigate other cops. Complaints and Conduct
Department, to give them their full title, but known colloquially as
'The Dark Side', or simply 'The Complaints'. It's where Malcolm Fox
works. He's just had a result, and should be feeling good about himself.
But he's a man with problems of his own. He has an increasingly frail
father in a care home and a sister who persists in an abusive
relationship - something which Malcolm cannot seem to do anything about.
But, in the midst of an aggressive Edinburgh winter, the reluctant Fox
is given a new task. There's a cop called Jamie Breck, and he's dirty.
The problem is, no one can prove it. But as Fox takes on the job, he
learns that there's more to Breck than anyone thinks. This knowledge
will prove dangerous, especially when a vicious murder intervenes far
too close to home for Fox's liking.
