Abstract

The article discusses trends in the literary genre of mystery and suspense. The author notes that detective stories by foreign writers are in vogue in the U.S. following the popularity of the "Millennium" books by Stieg Larsson. Examples discussed include Liza Marklund of Sweden, Roberto Ampuero of Chile, and Kishwar Desai of India. She mentions that publisher Titan Books is bringing out a previously unpublished work by classic noir writer James M. Cain called "The Cocktail Waitress." Also discussed are historical mysteries, political thrillers, and cozies.
