Why has crime fiction become a global genre? How do writers use
crime fiction to reflect upon the changing nature of crime and
policing in our contemporary world? This book argues that the
globalization of crime fiction should not be celebrated
uncritically. Instead, it looks at the new forms and techniques
writers are using to examine the crimes and policing practices that
define a rapidly changing world. In doing so, this collection of
essays examines how the relationship between global crime,
capitalism, and policing produces new configurations of violence in
crime fiction - and asks whether the genre can find ways of
analyzing and even opposing such violence as part of its
necessarily limited search for justice both within and beyond the
state.
