{"product_id":"historical-noir-barry-forshaw-9780857301352","title":"Historical Noir: The Pocket Essential Guide to Fiction, Film \u0026 TV","description":"It's one of the most successful--and surprising--of phenomena in the entire crime fiction genre: detectives (and proto-detectives) solving crimes in earlier eras. Barry Forshaw has written a lively, wide-ranging and immensely informed history of the genre, which might be said to have begun in earnest with Ellis Peters' crime-solving monk Brother Cadfael in the 1970s and Umberto Eco's\u003ci\u003e The Name of the Rose\u003c\/i\u003e in 1980 (with another monkish detective), but which has now taken readers to virtually every era and locale in the past. Forshaw has produced the perfect reader's guide to a fascinating field; every major writer is considered, often through a concentration on one or two key books, and exciting new talents are highlighted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barry Forshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857301357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857301352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pocket Essentials\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Barry Forshaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926660382975,"sku":"9780857301352","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4fa526e0-bb15-457a-ae0c-f9522d81ee8a.jpg?v=1681084310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-noir-barry-forshaw-9780857301352","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
