Beschreibung

Taking up a neglected area in the study of the crime novel, this collection investigates the growing number of writers who adapt conventions of detective fiction to expose problems of law, ethics, and identity that arise in postcolonial and transnational settings. Essays explore novels set in Latin America, the Caribbean, India, and North America, including novels that view the American metropolis through the eyes of minority detectives
