The first book of its kind, The Disabled Detective explores
representations of disability in crime fiction, from the earliest
days of the genre to contemporary television drama. Susannah B.
Mintz examines detective heroes with such conditions as blindness,
deafness, paralysis, Asperger's, obsessive compulsive disorder,
addiction, war trauma and many other impairments. Examining a wide
range of texts, from Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories
and the works of Agatha Christie to contemporary crime writers such
as Jeffrey Deaver and Michael Collins and television dramas such as
Monk, this book highlights how often characters with disabilities
have been the heroes of crime fiction and how rarely this has been
discussed in contemporary criticism.
