Description:
This story parodies the illogical and wholly unreasonable aspects of the way the law works. How its quest for 'justice' often leads to injustice, and how its rigid and inflexible approach to 'due process' makes a mockery of fairness, and hands down bizarre judgements. The insistence that everything must be resolved in court under the public gaze, creates ridiculous situations that do nothing to dignify the rightness of the justice system. On the contrary, it shames it.Just such a story is that of Edmund Lincoln.It's the fourth time ram raiders have wrecked Edmund Lincoln's nationally famous audio and HI-Fi business, and he's facing ruin. Exorbitant and restricted insurance, and the totally inept police investigations, mean he has little chance of recovering anything lost or receiving adequate recompense.After the fourth break in his senior manager Mark Stepleford, painfully restores the business but another disaster strikes when a psychotic customer is thought to be shoplifting. He is challenged and…

Description:
Montreal: Editions Dédicaces. Paperback. New. Cette recherche propose une approche du roman populaire policier de la fin du XIXe siècle au début du XXe. Les écrivains fondateurs du genre tels E. Gaboriau, G. Leroux, M. Leblanc M. Allain et P. Souvestre permettent dappréhender le passage dun genre à un autre. Au début du XXe siècle, la scission entre les deux genres nest pas encore effective, mais on constate que lintérêt du roman se situe, en partie, dans lenquête et dans lapplication de la logique à lanalyse du crime. Cet aspect émerge dans certains romans de Gaboriau, fin XIXe, ou dans Le Mystère de la chambre jaune.
