Eric Sandberg is an assistant professor at City University of Hong Kong and has published and presented extensively on twentieth and twenty-first century literature Sandburg is the coeditor of Adaptation, Awards Culture, and the Value of Prestige (2017) and the author of Virginia Woolf: Experiments in Character (2014).
This enormously important gift to scholars, edited by Eric Sandberg, sets a benchmark for scholars and scholarship in detective literary fiction. The excellent 7-page Introduction focuses much needed attention on, and gives poignant recognition to, this literary stepchild. This reference volume may in fact be a catalyst that moves detective literature from literary stepchild status to provide it a genuine and legitimate place in literary scholarship. . . This excellent monograph should be added to academic library collections from high school through community college and university. Large public libraries and special libraries that serve fiction readers should also acquire this resource.
