The Impossible Dead

Ian Rankin has written another fast paced thriller.

Malcom Fox and his "Complaints Department" have been asked to investigate whether cops have participated in the cover up of a corrupt colleague.  Their investigation leads not just to a cover up, but conspiracy, and a long past death by car accident that actually could be a murder.

The investigation leads to the past when Scotland was in turmoil and separatists were involved in bombings and kidnappings.  MI5 was following one of these groups.  Could they have been involved in an assassination of the car accident victim?  As Fox and his team investigate, more murders occur.

The reader is left turning pages to keep up with Fox and his team.  I could not put this book down and spent a full day reading it in order to finish it.
