Rankin is very good at capturing the tone of hostile non-cooperation that carefully avoids outright insubordination that must characterize this sort of interaction in police forces the world over. It's the sort of thing that Fox is used to dealing with and he and his team receive the usual unfriendly reception when they show up in Fife. Whatever happened, it involved drugs, sexual favours, and studied indifference and now two more women are accusing Carter of offering to drop charges against them in return for their being "accommodating." This time, Fox and his colleagues are in Fife to look into the case of a constable, Paul Carter, who's been ratted out by his own uncle, himself a retired policeman. Malcolm Fox, who first appeared in THE COMPLAINTS, is still working for that unpopular department that investigates the misdeeds of other coppers.
