Indeed, the sense of place, no less than the compelling character of the detective, is often what keeps authors writing and readers reading a particular series of mystery novels. This book investigates how "police procedural" murder mysteries have been used to convey a sense of place. Gary Hausladen delves into the work of more than thirty authors, including Tony Hillerman, Martin Cruz Smith, James Lee Burke, David Lindsey, P. D. James, and many others. Arranging the authors by their region of choice, he discusses police procedurals set in America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Europe, Moscow, Asia, and selected locales in other parts of the world, as well as in historical places ranging from the Roman Empire to turn-of-the-century Cairo.Detective and mystery stories, AmericanHistory and criticismPolice in literatureDetective and mystery stories, EnglishHistory and criticismPlace (Philosophy) in literatureGeography in literatureSetting (Literature)Detective and mystery stories, AmericanHistory and criticism.Police in literature.Detective and mystery stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.Place (Philosophy) in literature.Geography in literature.Setting (Literature)813/.08720932Hausladen Gary1946-1617269MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819032003321Places for dead bodies3948368UNINA
