 Ian Rankin is very good. But one question dances in front of me every time I open his latest novel: Is he that much better than everyone else? His sales, reviews, honours and reputation suggest that he is. Can it be possible? This year's novel, The Complaints, is set in Edinburgh, as usual, but has a new character, who looks a fair bet for a series. He shares much with John Rebus, who lived in real time and so retired after about 18 novels. Like Rebus, Malcolm Fox is divorced, depressed, decent and devoted to alcohol..... If the point of crime fiction is to make you think while entertaining you – and I believe it is – then Ian Rankin definitely does it better than most. The Complaints is the second Ian Rankin novel since John Rebus retired in Exit Music, and readers who are still suffering from Rebus deprivation are likely to be heartened by the arrival of a cop who shows every sign of being as eminently suitable as his successor. The two men have little in common except integrity and a dogged determination to get the job done. Inspector Malcolm Fox is teetotal in a hard-drinking world, a cop who wears unfashionable braces without embarrassment because they are the most effective way of holding up his trousers, who is described by a boss as "a bear of a man", slow but steady, and only occasionally to be feared....Fox is so fully realised and interesting a character, his job in "the complaints" so fraught with fascinating possibilities, that we can surely hope to meet him again. And somewhere in Edinburgh is John Rebus, retired, but for Ian Rankin readers very much alive Pertenece a las seriesMalcolm Fox (1) PremiosDistinciones

HTML: Malcolm Fox trabaja en el Departamento de Asuntos Internos, uno de los menos populares de la policía, pues se dedica a erradicar la corrupción en el cuerpo y a investigar a los agentes sospechosos. Es un tipo de mediana edad, gruñón y divorciado. No prueba el alcohol y lleva tirantes. Es constante y muy íntegro en su trabajo, y goza de una inteligencia poco común. Acaba de resolver un caso brillantemente, por lo que debería sentirse satisfecho, pero una situación familiar complicada que se ve incapaz de manejar-su padre está ingresado en una residencia demasiado cara para su sueldo de funcionario, y su hermana convive con un maltratador-hace que no tenga demasiados motivos para alegrarse. Asuntos internos es el debut literario de Malcolm Fox, nuevo personaje protagonista de Ian Rankin. Con un argumento complejo, unos personajes definidos y la crisis financiera global como telón de fondo, el lector comprobará que lo que en un principio se planteaba como una trama de corrupción tiene la envergadura de una sólida novela negra im No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
