Product Description

Synopsis
The "Rough Guide to Crime Fiction" takes the reader on a guided tour of the mean streets and blind corners that make up the world's most popular literary genre. The insider's book recommends over 200 classic crime novels from masterminds Raymond Chandler and Patricia Highsmith to modern hotshots James Elroy and Patricia Cornwall. You'll investigate gumshoes, spies, spooks, serial killers, forensic females, prying priests and patsies from the past, present, and future. It is complete with extra information on what to read next, all movie adaptions, and illustrated throughout with photos and diagrams...all the evidence that counts.
