""A much-needed investigation of the parameters of morality in that genre most concerned with the capacity of human behaviour for evil and justice."" --Stacy Gillis, Senior Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Newcastle University, UK ""Certainty and Ambiguity in Global Mystery Fiction is an essay collection that speaks to the scope of detective fiction as a genre, and both the contributors and the texts under discussion illustrate its international prominence. Moving from Golden Age to contemporary works, the essays address morality and the moral imagination as positioned within historical, social, and cultural contexts. The accessible treatments of authors and texts indicate not just the variety of the field but also tensions that arise when narrative structures and moral frameworks confront lived experiences. "" --Ann Martin, Associate Professor of English Literature, University of Saskatchewan, Canada
