The Wooden Leg of Inspector Anders

Marshall Browne

1999

An Inspector Anders novel.

"Inspector Anders of the Rome Police force became a national hero when he closed down an anarchist group ten years ago. But in the action he lost a leg - and his nerve. Since then he has made his moral compromises with the corruption of the Italian state. Now he has been given one last job before early retirement: to close an inquiry into the murder of a respected judge in southern Italy. Once there he finds himself drawn into a shadowy world of corruption and power, and becomes increasingly involved with both the case and the judge's widow. Anders must maneuver through layers of corruption as he struggles to close the murder case."

Inspector Anders and the Ship of Fools

Marshall Browne

2001

An Inspector Anders novel.

"Across Europe, a terrorist group opposed to globalization is killing executives who retrench large numbers of staff. The Italian Anders, with his extensive experience of terrorists, is called in to assist the French Police. It is not an assignment he welcomes. Anders is still recovering from the trauma of his recent success against the mafia, and is himself opposed to many of the practices of big corporations. Moreover, the terrorists are capable of feats that appear impossible. In the process of uncovering the methods and identity of his foes, Anders finds himself driven beyond all his experience and to the edge of sanity."

Inspector Anders and the Blood Vendetta

Marshall Browne

2006

An Inspector Anders novel.

"It's autumn in the E.U. and the temperature is falling in more ways than one when Inspector Anders is ordered back to Italy. Two right-wing politicians have been murdered with an identical, bizarre M.O. The Government is screaming 'terrorists' and the Prime Minister wants the famous terrorist-hunter on the case. But the Milan police are hardly welcoming, and the one-legged Anders is unhappy to return. Only the Mafia is delighted. As further high-level killings shock the nation, Anders tenaciously peels back layer after layer of falsity in the financial and political worlds. But the reason for the killings and the identity of the perpetrators remain elusive."
