The Impossible Dead / Ian Rankin

I was as sad as any true Rankin fan when he "retired" Inspector John Rebus, but the new protaganist Malcolm Fox, Inspector with the "Complaints" division (internal affairs) in Edinburgh, has me fairly smitten again. In this mystery, Fox begins what looks like a fairly routine investigation of police misconduct only to uncover a widening circle of seemingly tangential crime. In true Rankin fashion, Fox follows all leads to a plausible conclusion, all while keeping the reader guessing. Rankin cannot write fast enough to suit me! 391 p.
