Browne surveys the work of several of the best-known writers of crime fiction involving Indian characters and references virtually every book that qualifies as an Indian-related mystery. Browne believes that within the genre of crime fiction all people are equal, and the increasing role of Indian characters in criminal fiction proves what an important role this genre plays as a powerful democratizing force in American society. He endeavors to both analyze and evaluate the individual work of the authors, and at the same time, provide a commentary on the various attitudes towards race relations in the United States that each author presents. Some Indian fiction is intended to right the wrongs the authors feel have been leveled against Indians. Other authors use Indian lore and Indian locales as exotic elements and locations for the entertaining and commercially successful stories they want to write. Browne's analysis includes authors and works of all backgrounds, with mysteries of first-class murder both on and off the reservation. 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican fiction$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndians in literature 606 $aCrime in literature 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndians in literature. 615 0$aCrime in literature. 676 $a813/.087209897 700 $aBrowne$b Ray B$g(Ray Broadus),$f1922-2009.$01164164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969175103321 996 $aMurder on the reservation$94363209 997 $aUNINA
