Locations play an important role in every story, but in British and
American contemporary crime fiction, they are often inextricable
from the narrative. This work examines the city, the countryside
and the wilderness as places ripe with literary significance and
symbolism. Using works by authors like Robert Galbraith, Ian
Rankin, Denise Mina, Chris Brookmyre, John Knox, Peter Robinson,
Linda Barnes, Dana Stabenow, Nevada Barr, Les Roberts, Philip R.
Craig, and other, this work offers a fresh assessment of how place
and space are employed in contemporary crime fiction. It highlights
similarities and differences among the authors' approaches to
setting, and how they relate to the history of crime fiction and
the general literary representation place. Going beyond mere
literary geography, this work engages the sociocultural dimensions
of the communities affected by crime. Chapters also analyze the
reader's perception, recognition and appreciation of place and
community.
