Cross-Cultural Connections in Crime Fictions Reviews

'A wide-ranging collection of essays on crime fiction, television and film which makes valuable new contributions to its subject area. Its crossing of cultural boundaries and a particular focus on issues of spatial representation, generic hybridity and gender mark it as a welcome addition to its field.'

- Peter Messent, University of Nottingham, UK
