Book Log 2012 #22: The Impossible Dead by Ian Rankin
The second book featuring internal affairs cop Malcolm Fox, this one sees his team called to investigate an officer accused of trading sex for leniency with the local prostitutes. It seems like a straightforward case until the cop's uncle - who ratted his nephew out in the first place - winds up dead. And when it's discovered that the uncle was investigating a crime from the 1980s involving Scottish nationalists, things get more complicated in a hurry.
I've not read enough of the Rebus books to feel strongly about Rankin starting a new series, but I've enjoyed both of these books enough to not worry about it too much. You don't need to have read the first book (The Complaints) to understand this one, but it wouldn't hurt to read them in order.
