A questionable choice, as he was born in Walthamstow (Brits are not included in “Euro” crime writing), but he lived in Italy for years, moved to Guadeloupe, and holds dual nationality. His latest novel is available only in French, so if I make him French rather than British he gets in (admittedly unfair on two other Anglos, whose detectives work in Italy and Spain – the late Michael Dibdin and the brilliant Robert Wilson). The five books in Williams’s Commissario Trotti series, written from 1982–96, are hard to find,

but if you liked Zen (Dibdin’s books or the TV series) you’ll enjoy Trotti just as much. A delight

他的国籍是个问题，因为他出生在英国的（英国人是不包括在“欧洲”犯罪小说范围内的），但他在意大利生活过多年，后来搬到位于拉丁美洲的法国属地瓜德罗普岛。他拥有的是双重国籍，而且他最近一本小说是用法文写的。他笔下的人物Trotti与电视剧《Zen》里的主人公很相似，尽管这五本的《代理警察总监Trotti》（Commissario Trotti series）系列在市面上不容易见，但是读这些故事会带给你的是一种欣喜。
