Principles of Investigative Documentation
This is the only book in existence that discusses the process of documenting an investigation from start to finish. It presents just about everything an investigator needs to know regarding how to document an investigation. The first chapter discusses the five primary principles of investigative documentation: taking comprehensive notes; documenting every effort to contact witnesses and all surveillance; preparing reports whenever there is any possibility of needing to testify; taking verbatim statements from hostile witnesses and declarations from friendly witnesses; and providing all case documents to the client or maintaining a document retention plan. The second chapter details the numer...

Edward Carpenter
The gay socialist writer Edward Carpenter had an extraordinary impact on the cultural and political landscape of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A mystic advocate of, among other causes, free love, recycling, nudism, women's suffrage and prison reform, his work anticipated the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Sheila Rowbotham's highly acclaimed biography situates Carpenter's life and thought in relation to the social, aesthetic and intellectual movements of his day, and explores his friendships with figures such as Walt Whitman, E.M. Forster, Isadora Duncan and Emma Goldman. Edward Carpenter is a compelling portrait of a man described by contemporaries as a 'weather-vane' for his times.
Crime Scenes
The essays in this collection are based on papers given at a conference on detective fiction in European culture, held at the University of Exeter in September 1997. The range of topics covered is designed to show not only the presence and variety of narratives of detection across different European countries and their different media (although there is a predictable emphasis on the novel). It also illustrates the fertility of the genre, its openness to a spectrum of readings with different emphases, formal as well as thematic. Approaches to detective fiction have often tended to confine them-selves to ‘symptomatic’ interpretation, where details of the fictional world represented are use...
The Simple Art of Murder
Raymond Chandler's 'The Simple Art of Murder' is an iconic piece that encapsulates the essence of hardboiled detective fiction, a genre that Chandler himself helped pioneer and define. The collection, comprising a seminal essay and a selection of short stories, exhibits Chandler's mastery of tight prose, sharp dialogue, and complex characters struggling within a morally ambiguous world. The essay, which shares the book's title, critiques the detective fiction of Chandler's time, establishing a literary manifesto for realism and depth in a genre often belittled for its formulaic tendencies. His short stories, replete with the moody atmospherics of Los Angeles, showcase the gritty underbelly o...
