{"product_id":"hard-boiled-erin-smith-9781566397698","title":"Hard-Boiled","description":"In the 1920s a distinctively American detective fiction emerged from the pages of pulp magazines. The hard-boiled stories published in Black Mask, Dime Detective, Detective Fiction Weekly and Clues featured a new kind of hero and soon challenged the popularity of the British mysteries that held readers in thrall on both sides of the Atlantic. In Hard-Boiled, Erin A. Smith examines the culture that produced and supported this form of detective story through the 1940s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566397693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566397698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 908","brand":"Erin Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065711243519,"sku":"9781566397698","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_027649be-83f6-4ec2-8231-92572d44cf0e.jpg?v=1768676750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hard-boiled-erin-smith-9781566397698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
