Wenn der Ermittler in einem erstmals 1937/38 erschienenen Schweizer Krimi kiffen darf und diese neue Erfahrung begeistert mit einem "cheibe suber isch es gsy" kommentiert -- dann kann nur Friedrich Glauser der Autor sein...In der "Fieberkurve" geht es nicht nur die Aufkl�rung zweier aktueller und eines lange vergangenen ungekl�rten Todesfalles -- es geht auch um Studers Jugendtr�ume, die er nun, gerade eben Gro�vater geworden, von einer anderen Seite sieht: Ein Teil der Handlung spielt im Maghreb, bei der Fremdenlegion. Und es geht um arme Teufel, die das Schicksal �ber Geb�hr gebeutelt hat.Zun�chst aber beginnt alles in Paris, wo Studer ein eigenartiger Geistlicher, ein "p�re blanc" vorgestellt wird, dem in einem Fremdenlegion-Posten vom "Hellseherkorporal" zwei Morde prophezeit worden waren. Studer lernt bald auch Marie Cleman kennen, ein "suubers Meitschi", das seine v�terlichen Gef�hle weckt -- aber auch sie ist in den Fall verwickelt. Und er findet heraus, dass es um viel Geld geht -- und darum, dass l�ngst nicht alle Beteiligten das sind, das sie scheinen -- oder doch? Vieles spielt au�erdem noch mit hinein, z.B. innerschweizerische Animosit�ten und der franz�sische Geheimdienst -- eine etwas wirre Geschichte, zugegeben, die aber doch v�llig logisch endet. Man merkt allerdings, dass der Roman erstmals in Fortsetzungen erschienen ist.

The conflation of the hard-boiled style and war experience has influenced many contemporary crime writers, particularly in the traumatic aftermath of the Vietnam War. Yet, earlier writers in the genre, such as Raymond Chandler, remain overlooked when it comes to examining how their war experience affected their writing. Sarah Trott corrects this oversight by examining Chandler alongside the World War I writers of the Lost Generation as well as highlighting a melding of very different styles in Chandler's work. Based on Chandler's experience in combat, Trott explains that the writer created detective Philip Marlowe not as the idealization of heroic individualism, as is commonly perceived, but instead as an authentic individual subjected to very real psychological frailties from trauma during the First World War. Inspecting Chandler's work and correspondence indicates that the characterization of the fictional Marlowe goes beyond the traditional chivalric readings and can instead be interpreted as a genuine representation of a traumatized veteran in American society. Substituting the horror of the trenches for the corruption of the city, Chandler formed a disillusioned protagonist in an uncaring America. Chandler did so with the sophistication necessary to straddle genre fiction and canonical literature. The sum of this work offers a new understanding of how Chandler uses his war trauma, how that experience established the traditional archetype of detective fiction, and how this reading of his fiction enables Chandler to transcend generic limitations and be recognized as a key twentieth-century literary figure.

Three million dollars in share certificates have been stolen from a Dominican priory, and VI Warshawski doesn't want to find out why. Aust Rosa, the priory's treasurer, wants her on the case, and VI has never forgiven Rosa for something she did a long time ago. But VI changes her mind and the case changes its course when she visits the priory. Suddenly everyone - her aunt, the FBI, and a mysterious phone caller threatening to pour acid on VI's beautiful eyes - tells her to let sleeping dogs lie. Then one of VI's dearest friends is murdered . . . With her customary skill and with the help of a few stiff drinks, VI plunges into the affair. She needs all her wit, ingenuity and femininity, as well as her gun-handling and karate-chopping skills.

Claire Trevor (1910–2000) is best remembered as the alluring blonde femme fatale in such iconic noir films as Murder, My Sweet (1944) and Raw Deal (1948). Yet she was a versatile performer who brought rare emotional depth to her art. She was effective in a range of diverse roles, from an outcast prostitute in John Ford’s classic Stagecoach (1939) to the ambitious tennis mother in Hard, Fast and Beautiful (1951) to the embittered wife of a landowner in William Wellman’s overlooked gem My Man and I (1952). Nominated for three Oscars, she deservedly won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Gaye Dawn, a gangster’s broken-down moll in Key Largo (1948). The author covers her life and career in detail, recognizing her as one of the finest actresses of her generation.

Detective Fiction And The Problem Of Knowledge written by Antoine Dechêne and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-08-16 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book establishes the genealogy of a subgenre of crime fiction that Antoine Dechêne calls the metacognitive mystery tale. It delineates a corpus of texts presenting 'unreadable' mysteries which, under the deceptively monolithic appearance of subverting traditional detective story conventions, offer a multiplicity of motifs – the overwhelming presence of chance, the unfulfilled quest for knowledge, the urban stroller lost in a labyrinthine text – that generate a vast array of epistemological and ontological uncertainties. Analysing the works of a wide variety of authors, including Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, and Henry James, this book is vital reading for scholars of detective fiction.

Locked Room Murders is a bibliography containing a description of the problem and, separately, the solution to locked room and impossible crime novels and short stories.It has been a classic in the locked room pantheon for over 40 years, beginning with a 1972 article by Bob Adey in The Armchair Detective. The first edition of Locked Room Murders, published by Ferret Fantasy in 1979, covered 1280 titles. The 1991 second edition, published by Crossover Press, covered 2019 titles. Due to limited print runs, both editions have become prohibitively expensive. Locked Room International (LRI) is now making a revised version of the Second Edition available at an affordable price. Edited by Brian Skupin, LRI consultant and co-publisher of Mystery Scene magazine, this revised version contains the same 2019 titles, but with corrections and additional references which have appeared since 1991.Plans are in place to publish a Supplemental Edition in 2019, to include novels and short stories (including translations from sources outside the Anglosphere) published since 1991, films, TV series, graphic novels, and other media. It will not contain any of the titles in the Second Edition, Revised.
