Writing

[edit]

Anne Rambach began her writing career with a trilogy, Tokyo Chaos, Tokyo Atomic and Tokyo Mirage. These are crime novels featuring the main character Yanko Go, a young female police officer in the US with Japanese roots. She is sent by the intelligence service to Tokyo, where she becomes embroiled in dramatic events involving a terrorist attack and other crimes.[2][5] In Tokyo Atomic, murders occur in connection with a nuclear waste management facility.[6] In Tokyo Mirage, the protagonist is involved in investigating crimes linked to mafia groups.[7]

Success Story takes place in Miami, where a Black woman is killed outside her home. The investigation reveals that her adopted son is a star on an American football team. Political and economic interests complicate the case[8] Bombyx, Scent of Evil and Devastation are standalone thrillers featuring freelance journalist Diane Harpmann as the main character.[9] Bombyx is a restaurant in Paris's Chinatown, and the drama begins there but is shown to have connections to the Russian mafia[10][11][12] Scent of Evil is set in the fashion world, where Angelina Jolie is murdered in connection with the launch of a new perfume, Enfer (hell).[13] Devastation deals with the revelation of the asbestos scandal in France and is explicitly critical of society. It has also been provided with extensive source references.[14][15]

Anne Rambach has also published several essays together with Marina Rambach. "Les intellos précaires" (2001) describes the precarious conditions for young cultural workers in France.[16] "La culture gaie et lesbienne" (2003) discusses the perception of homosexuality in society.[15][17]
