Focusing on crime fiction, film and television that artfully
combine comedy and misdeed, this comprehensive study explores the
reasons why writers and filmmakers inject humor into their work and
identifies the various comic techniques they use. The author covers
both American and European books from the 1930s to the present, by
such authors as Rex Stout, Raymond Chandler, Elmore Leonard, Donald
Westlake, Sue Grafton, Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich, along with
film and television from The Thin Man to the BBC's Sherlock series.
