where he spent the majority of his thirty years
investigating murders or commanding those who

in an era when more Seminole Indians strolled
Main Street than Cuban-Americans. After
graduating high school, he worked various jobs
including ballroom dance instruction and
symphony violinist before serving a short stint in
the United States Marine Corps Reserves.

Thanks to the advice of a notorious Miami Beach
bookie, and thoughtful stepfather, he found his
serving as a road patrolman for three years before rising through the ranks to

assignments, including Internal Affairs, Criminal Intelligence and sixteen years in
Homicide and Crime Scene Investigations, seven years as a detective and nine
more in a command status. He also served as captain in charge of Staff
Inspections and chief executive officer of a 250 man district station.

In From Violins To Violence, Marshall Frank bares all about
his transition from a classical violinist, dancer and stepson of a
Miami Beach mobster, to becoming one of Miami-Dade
County’s premier homicide detectives. In a most compelling
autobiography, Frank shares many personal and professional
experiences.
In concise, no-frills style, “Militant Islam In America” unveils
disturbing revelations about the surreptitious invasion of the
United States by Wahhabi Islamic forces from the Middle East
hell-bent on replacing the Constitution by the Quran.  Deftly
researched, powerfully written and politically incorrect, the
author summarizes the bottom line: Under the unwatchful eye
of the U.S. government, the non-peaceful side of Islam is
using money, political influence and the protection of our Bill
of Rights to conquer and create the Islamic Republic Of America before the end of
this century.

the department imposes unyielding pressures that threatens
to destroy his morale. As the probe unveils a pattern of serial killings, the case also
triggers a resurrection of haunting childhood events that had altered Burgamy's life
forever.  The ordeal ultimately leads to a conclusion no one would have ever
anticipated, including himself.
