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. 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolice in literature 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPlace (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aGeography in literature 606 $aSetting (Literature) 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolice in literature. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPlace (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aGeography in literature. 615 0$aSetting (Literature) 676 $a813/.08720932 700 $aHausladen$b Gary$f1946-$01491715 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780326003321 996 $aPlaces for dead bodies$93713658 997 $aUNINA
