Opis

In the late 1940s and early 1950s a new kind of detective story appeared on the scene. This was a story in which the mystery is solved by regular police detectives, usually working in teams and using ordinary police routines. This kind of narrative is customarily called the police procedural story. And it is the subject of this book. Though there has been numberless writers of these stories, there has never been a book of criticism before.
