AP Magdalen Nabb British crime novelist, 60 Magdalen Nabb, 60, a British author who wrote crime novels about a quirky Italian investigator, has died, her publishing house said yesterday. Ms. Nabb died of a stroke Saturday in Florence, Italy, where she had lived and worked since 1975, said Diogenes Verlag AG, her Swiss publisher. Her most popular novels featured a Sicilian-born police detective, Marshal Salva-tore Guarnaccia, who was described by Publishers Weekly as "an unusual protagonist for a crime novel: he's neither a Bond-like sophisticate nor a recovering loser." She published 13 books in the series, the most recent The Innocent in 2005. Ms.

Nabb said she started writing when Belgian author Georges Simenon stopped writing his acclaimed novels about French detective Jules Maigret in 1972. She came up with the idea for the character Marshal Guarnaccia while working in a pottery studio in the Italian town of Montelupo Fiorentino. AP Daniel B. Brewster Former Md. senator, 83 Daniel B.

Brewster, 83, a former U.S. senator from Maryland and decorated World War II hero who was wounded seven times, has died. Mr. Brewster died Sunday at his home in Owings Mills, from liver cancer, his son Gerry Brewster said. Mr.

Brewster, a Democrat, was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates to represent Baltimore County in 1950 at age 26. He was elected to two terms in the U.S. House and served from 1959 to 1963. He was elected to the Senate in 1962 and at age 39 was one of its youngest members. He served for one term, from 1963 to 1969.

He cosponsored the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He also sponsored legislation to create the Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland. In 1969, he was indicted and found guilty of accepting an unlawful gratuity without corrupt intent. That charge was overturned on appeal, but authorities indicated they would prosecute him again, his son said, so Mr. Brewster decided to plead no contest to accepting an unlawful gratuity with day afternoons, he said, or take a bus to Trenton for a $5 afternoon of movies, hobby stores and pizza parlors.

A loyal Eagles fan, he was annoyed by newer Yardley residents who, he said, drive the wrong way into parking lots and "zoom off in their SUVs with the New York Giants bumper stickers. Mr. Friedman is survived by his mother, Florence Federwicz Friedman, and his longtime companion, Anne Parrish. The funeral was yesterday at Congregation Kol Emet, 1360 Oxford Valley Yard-ley.
