Colin was Australia’s pre-eminent task force detective during the most volatile decades in our social history. He hunted the mafia, the Mr Bigs, murderers, paedophiles and bombers in the days when police shot first and asked questions later. Since resigning from the force, he divides his time equally between Italy and Australia, writing. Thus far, he has penned 3 books and 2 screenplays. His first book is to be made into a feature film.      "...McLaren has created a superb body of work...(Sunflower)...masterful..." Weekend Review, Herald Sun.
