International Inspectors on DVD



Call them Inspector, Detective or Commissario , the international crime solvers have caught America’s attention.  The Brits – Inspectors Morse, Foyle, Lewis and Lynley – were first.  Lately, the Swedes – Wallander, Maria Wern, Irene Huss and Beck—have become popular.  The Library has all of these and more on DVD.  Commisario Brunetti makes Venice a safer place. Detective Montalbano operates in the fictional Sicilian town of Vigata.  Southern Sweden is the setting for Wallander’s cases, while Maria Wern lives in the scenic island city of Visby. The Norwegians are represented by  P.I. Varg Veum who lives in the coastal city of Bergen.  And “East West 101” features Zane Malik, a Muslim detective in Sydney, Australia.

More series are arriving constantly.  You can inspect what’s in on the shelves immediately to the right of the stairs on the lower level.
