Description

Crime fiction is filled with violent death, as P D James would call it in her BBC voice. Yet what drives many writers of crime fiction (of the better sort) is not the psychopath's obsession with killing, the gangster's with power, or the politician's with kick-backs, but a deep sense of moral outrage. The king of tartan noir, Ian Rankin, puts it like this in an article called "Why Crime Fiction is Good for You": What interests me is the soul of the crime novel--what it tells us about humanity, what it is capable of discussing. Good crime fiction tackles big issues. My own crime novels have discussed the morality of big business, political corruption, child abduction, the drug scene, the ramifications of the oil industry and so on .... We are all inquisitive and curious animals, learning through questioning, and crime fiction touches this deep need to both ask questions and to get answers.
