Elias and Sienkiewicz-Charlish provide students and academics with a collection examining the international context of crime fiction across several national literary traditions. The twenty-four
essays that make up the text are organized in three sections, which examine genres, authors and texts, and topics related to the field of inquiry, in turn. The texts in question are examined
from the perspectives of intertextuality, nationhood and globalization, ethics, and a variety of others. Urszula Elias is an independent scholar and author. Agnieszka Sienkiewicz-Charlish is a
faculty member of the University of Gdask, Poland. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
