The Enzo Files

About the Series

The Enzo Files are a mix of whodunit, investigation, thrills, suspense and humour. Enzo is in his early fifties, half-Scottish, half-Italian. Formerly one of Scotland's top forensic scientists, he now lives in France and works as a university professor in Toulouse. Divorced in Scotland, and widowed in France, he has an estranged Scottish daughter, and another in France whom he has had to raise on his own. Enzo is a complex character who deals with tragic loss and a broken heart by covering it up with bluff and bluster, and his bravado often gets him into difficult situations. As the result of a reckless wager, he becomes involved in solving old French 'cold cases' using the latest technology. But where there are unsolved murders, there are killers desperate to protect their freedom and keep their identities undiscovered; and Enzo soon finds that a lifetime in laboratories hardly equips him for the life-threatening situations he encounters. Enzo's investigations benefit from his formidable intellect but are often hampered by his lack of patience and tact, his zero tolerance of French bureaucrats, and his very complicated emotional life.
