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. Then the judge's widow offers him the chance to redeem his life with one last explosive act of courage. "The Wooden Leg of Inspector Anders" is a remarkable debut sure to captivate and intrigue.

What makes Browne's achievement fascinating is the fact that the book's setting is Italy and its title character, the fatalistic one-legged policeman, Anders, is that rarest of creatures: a man willing to confront the Mafia in the dark heart of its own lair. Inspector D.P. Anders is a much-decorated Roman cop poised on the brink of retirement; when we meet him, he is newly arrived in an unnamed southern city. He has been dispatched there to make a report on a peculiarly Italian set of circumstances: a magistrate investigating the assassination of an anti-Mafia judge has himself been brutally slain. But the coils of interlinked and complicit corruption that Anders encounters will surprise only the reader (though, of course, not those familiar with Michael Dibdin's equally elegant Aurelio Zen series). A wounded veteran of his country's perpetual and deadly internal war zone, Inspector Anders had lost his leg in an explosion set by left-wing terrorists nearly two decades earlier.
