- A wide-ranging overview of Detective Fiction from its origins to the present day.
- Combines general socio-historical background with ‘casebook’ chapters, providing students with close readings of key texts and introducing them to a variety of critical approaches.
- Traces the history and development of the genre through all the well known authors and characters, including Edgar Allen Poe, Agatha Christie, Dashiell Hammett and Paul Auster.
- Will fill a real gap for courses on detective and crime fiction, as well as appealing to popular fiction courses - there is no comprehensive book on detective fiction aimed at students currently available.
- Written by a leading professor of English at Boston University.
