The Frank Decker series follows a detective whose cases take him from New York to Germany across three books. Missing New York (2014) introduces Decker as an investigator in the city, while the later entries move the action to Germany, adding an international crime fiction dimension to the series.

The series is one of Winslow’s more compact works, running just three books compared to the sprawling scope of his drug war novels. The transatlantic settings give the mysteries a different feel from his California and Mexico-based work, showing Winslow’s range as a crime writer.
