CRIME FILES
 |
|
 |
Since its invention
in the nineteenth century, detective fiction has never been more
popular. In novels, short stories, films, radio, television and now in
computer games, private detectives and psychopaths, poisoners and
overworked cops, tommy gun gangsters and cocaine criminals are the very
stuff of modern imagination, and their creators one mainstay of popular
consciousness. Crime Files is a ground-breaking series offering
scholars, students and discerning readers a comprehensive set of guides
to the world of crime and detective fiction. Every aspect of crime
writing, detective fiction, gangster movie, true-crime exposé, police
procedural and post-colonial investigation is explored through clear and
informative texts offering comprehensive coverage and theoretical
sophistication.
General Editor: Clive Bloom, Emeritus Professor of English and American Studies at Middlesex University, UK.
**A Counter-History of Crime Fiction and Deviance in Contemporary Crime Fiction have both been nominated for the 2008 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Awards - full details can be found here.**
