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
