Comparative Literary Analysis and Criticism

A history of Spanish detective fiction from Alarcon's El clavo, published twelve years after Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue, up to the present. The presentation of the highly entertaining sleuth characters is based on a detailed examination of the works and, in many cases, personal interviews with the writers.
