描述 | .This bookoffers a critically informed yet relaxed historical overview of the legalthriller, a unique contribution to crime fiction where most of the titles havebeen written by professionals such as lawyers and judges..The legalthriller typically uses court trials as the suspense-creating background forpresenting legal issues reflecting a wide range of concerns, from corporateconflicts to private concerns, all in a dramatic but highly informed manner.With authors primarily from the USA and the UK, the genre is one whichnonetheless enjoys a global reading audience. As well as providing a survey ofthe legal thriller, this book takes a gender–focused approach to analyzingrecently published titles within the field. It also argues for the fascinationof the legal thriller both in the way its narrative pattern parallels that ofan actual court trial, and by the way it reflects, frequently quitecritically, the concerns of contemporary society.. |
