Food, Drink, and the Female Sleuth
From the author of books about women police officers and a retired editor who’s now a volunteer cop in small town America, Food, Drink, and the Female Sleuth gathers together the best food scenes in mainstream detective fiction. Over 140 flavorful contributors, over 250 slurpy excerpts, 23 rich chapters with titles like “Undercover Grub and Stakeout Takeout,” “Junk Food on the Run,” “A Dozen Ways to Feed Your Lover,” “Bribing with Food,” and “The Last Bite.” Like us, PIs, cops, and amateur sleuths ARE what they eat. Also they are known by how they eat, where they eat, why they eat, and by who does the cooking. What better way to flesh out a sleuth’s work partner than “Let’s Have A Drink,” or spell out social class with humor in “Upper and Lower Crusts”? What better way to get a plot underway than breakfast? Or stir in suspense and foreshadow events in “Let’s Do Lunch”? This book is for anyone whose shelves are stacked with really good detective novels and really good food. Face it, if you like to eat, put Food, Drink on your table.

The Essential Mystery Lists
For the first time in one place, Roger M. Sobin has compiled a list of nominees and award winners of virtually every mystery award ever presented. He has also included many of the “best of” lists by more than fifty of the most important contributors to the genre.; Mr. Sobin spent more than two decades gathering the data and lists in this volume, much of that time he used to recheck the accuracy of the material he had collected. Several of the “best of” lists appear here for the first time in book form. Several others have been unavailable for a number of years.; Of special note, are Anthony Boucher’s “Best Picks for the Year.” Boucher, one of the major mystery reviewers of all time, reviewed for The San Francisco Chronicle, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, and The New York Times. From these resources Mr. Sobin created “Boucher’s Best” and “Important Lists to Consider,” lists that provide insight into important writing in the field from 1942 through Boucher’s death in 1968.? This is a great resource for all mystery readers and collectors.; ; Winner of the 2008 Macavity Awards for Best Mystery Nonfiction.

Historian Allan Duffin offers an exhilarating celebration of ordinary women who chose to serve their communities in extraordinary ways Book jacket.

Ich kannte den Mörder, wusste nur nicht wer er war
Erscheinen überhaupt nur mehr Kriminalromane auf dem Buchmarkt und laufen im Fernsehen nur mehr Kriminalserien? Selbst wenn es so wäre: es ist den Lesern und den Zuschauern nicht zu viel. Krimis unterhalten wirklich und sind in ihrer gediegenen Machart inzwischen auch von Hochliteratur-Kritikern und Feinspitz-Lesern voll anerkannt. Der vorliegende Band hebt die entscheidenden Charakteristika der gegenwärtigen Produktion heraus: das Verständnis des Verbrechens, das Verhältnis von Lebensgenuss und Tod und das Verhältnis der verbrecherisch gestörten Ordnung zur Science Fiction, die Produktions- und Einkaufspolitik des Fernsehens, die Kommissarin und ihre Autorinnen, den Jugendkrimi und den Krimi im Literaturunterricht. Etc. Hin und wieder erinnert das Buch auch an eine schöne Vergangenheit, an Knatterton und Kottan.
Women Police
What can be done to stop the declining numbers of women in law enforcement? If information is power, then Women Police: Portraits of Success could well reverse that trend. Author Patricia Lunneborg traveled from Anchorage to Brooklyn and points in between to conduct in-depth interviews with over 50 women officers, from small-town sergeant to the head of the Alaska State Patrol. What drew them to the job in the first place? What keeps them on the job? What are their daily challenges and satisfactions? How do they balance work and family? What are their ideas for improving all aspects of the system--recruiting, training, retention, and promotion? Portraits is a powerful recruitment tool, an es...
