'The foreigner' is a familiar character in popular crime fiction,
from the foreign detective whose outsider status provides a unique
perspective on a familiar or exotic location to the xenophobic
portrayal of the criminal 'other'. Exploring popular crime fiction
from across the world, The Foreign in International Crime Writing
examines these popular works as 'transcultural contact zones' in
which writers can tackle such issues as national identity,
immigration, globalization and diaspora communities. Offering
readings of 20th and 21st century crime writing from Norway, the
UK, India, China, Europe and Australasia, the essays in this book
open up new directions for scholarship on crime writing and
transnational literatures.
