Malcolm Fox and his team are back, investigating whether fellow cops covered up for Detective Paul Carter. Carter has been found guilty of misconduct, but what should be a simple job is soon complicated by a brutal murder and a weapon that should not even exist.

A trail of revelations leads Fox back to 1985, a year of desperate unrest when letter-bombs and poisonous spores were sent to government offices, and kidnappings and murders were plotted. But while the body count rises the clock starts ticking, and a dramatic turn of events sees Fox in mortal danger.

I liked the first Malcolm Fox novel ("The Complaints"), and this is a good sequel. It has the same slow-moving scenario, full of steps forward as well as backward, awkward logic, guesses and intuitive reasoning, as it would be in a real life rather than a 45 mins action movie where everything naturely comes to a logical end. The story spins not only around the main character, internal complaints inspector Malcolm Fox (whose depiction remains a little lifeless still), but also gives sufficient room to the story, the background, the social colouring, which altogether always keeps it from becoming stereotypical.
That's why I'd prefer Malcolm Fox even to his famous predecessor, Inspector Rebus.

Crime novel with a social-political background
