商品簡介
Recent crime fiction reflects changes in society and technology, notes Effron (Stevenson U., Baltimore County, Maryland) in introducing this collection of ten critical essays. From diverse perspectives, international scholars and a crime writer offer textual analyses of a broad range of authors and styles, and discuss trends and motifs in the genre (e.g., defining deviance, gender roles). Texts treated range from recent titles in Patricia Cornwell's "forensic fiction," to CSI TV crime dramas and the film adaptation of Deaver's The Bone Collector. An interview with Ian Rankin, Rebus series author, concludes the book. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
