In both British and American detective fiction the police detective has emerged as a fictional protagonist. However, the American policemen have not achieved the prominence of their British counterparts. It may be that the habitual American irreverence for authority figures has discouraged the introduction of great policeman into mystery fiction.. The thirteen essays in this volume indicate some of the principle elements which appear again and again in both British and American police procedurals. First Edition. Pictorial Wrappers. Fine/No Jacket. Trade Paperback.
