Twelve years ago after its first publication Las adventures des Inspector Cabillot arrives in the US by popular demand.Inspector Cabillot, the first Europanto detective tackles varied European concerns such as a mad cow disease terrorist cell that takes over London and the kidnapping of a major European Union leader by Finnish nationalists who want to replace Europanto with Finnish as the only language of the European Union.These stories take a light-hearted look at the European Union and its problems in a language created to give Europeans a common tongue. '' The linguistic recipe used by Diego Marani is broadly the following; take a firm grounding of English and French, toss in chunks of German, Spanish and Italian; garnish with a dash of Flemish and Euroslang; pour the contents into a language liquidiser and serve when thoroughly pureed.'' Ben MacIntyre in The Times
