They're the cops who investigate other cops. Malcolm Fox is one of them, and in the midst of an Edinburgh winter, he is set on the trail of bent cop, Jamie Breck. This major post-Rebus crime novel from Rankin is sure to hit the heights of the bestseller list, and with its searing exploration of personal morality, private vice, friendship and the state of the nation, it is sure to attract the critical plaudits too.
