Police-Writers.com adds 77th Writer

Police-Writers.com added Marshall Frank, 67, a retired captain from the Metro-Dade Police Department in Miami, Florida, where he spent the majority of his thirty years investigating murders or commanding those who did.

Born to vaudevillian parents in New York City, Frank moved to Miami, Florida at the age of five in an era when more Seminole Indians strolled Main Street than Cuban-Americans. After graduating high school, he worked various jobs including ballroom dance instruction and symphony violinist before serving a short stint in the United States Marine Corps Reserves.

Thanks to the advice of a notorious Miami Beach bookie, and thoughtful stepfather, he found his niche in law enforcement by joining the Dade County Sheriff s Office in 1960, serving as a road patrolman for three years before rising through the ranks to captain.

Outside of working vice, Frank's career covered the gamut of high stress police assignments, including Internal Affairs, Criminal Intelligence and sixteen years in Homicide and Crime Scene Investigations, seven years as a detective and nine more in a command status. He also served as captain in charge of Staff Inspections and chief executive officer of a 250 man district station.

Frank’s books include "Beyond The Call," which loosely based on true events and addresses the perennial issue of police abuse of power; "Dire Straits: A Miami Novel," a high-tension story about a mass murder in a posh Miami subdivision and a stressed out homicide detective who finds himself with a double dose of troubles he hadn't counted on; "On My Fathers Grave," a Mafia mystery; "Call Me Mommy," a heart wrenching story of family dysfunction, drug addiction and murder; "The Latent," a story of homosexual serial killings in the Southeast and a distraught homicide detective whose life is wrought with troubles. An unexpected twist coming from CSI nails a most improbable suspect; and, “Militant Islam In America,” which unveils disturbing revelations about the surreptitious invasion of the United States by Wahhabi Islamic forces from the Middle East hell-bent on replacing the Constitution by the Quran.
