The Secrets of Great Mystery and Suspense Fiction

Police as Antagonist (1x21)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 10, 2013

Sometimes cast as helpful, sometimes as a hindrance, the police are typically prominent players in mysteries and suspense novels. Professor Schmid reviews stories where the police are at odds with the protagonist; stories where the detective is ambivalent; stories where the detective and police work together affably; and stories where the detective is (or was) on the actual police force.
