The Oxford Book of American Detective Stories Hardcover - 1996
by Tony Hillerman (Editor); Rosemary Herbert (Editor)
Edgar Allan Poe launched the detective story in 1841, as a highbrow form of entertainment, a puzzle to be solved by a rational sifting of clues. But from the beginning, American writers worked important changes into Poe's basic formula, especially in language and locale. This brilliant anthology brings together 34 tales that illuminate both the evolution of crime fiction in the U.S. and America's unique contribution to this highly popular genre.
