Where can I get the latest rules on IUPAC nomenclature of coordination complexes?
I have J D Lee book which is also assumed to have outdated rules.

I think IUPAC's Red Book in the 5th edition by 2005, is the most recent reference of this topic, IR-9 (pages 142 onward) about coordination compounds. Corrections of errors in the print are published here.
In addition the correct reference to the current version of Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry – IUPAC Recommendations 2005 (Red Book) given in the answer by Buttonwood, you can find a short summary in the IUPAC Technical Report Brief guide to the nomenclature of inorganic chemistry. Pure Appl. Chem. 2015, 87(9–10), 1039–1049 as well as in the corresponding four-sided lift-out document, which is available as supplementary material.
