- Description
- As pivotal contributions to the emerging genre of the police procedural, Ed McBain's early 87th Precinct novels are caught up in a dual logic of genre negation and genre performance-they develop a new style of writing by actively and aggressively "undoing" the defining features of earlier detective fiction: the clue; the process of detection; and and the narrative causality that links crime, evidence and investigation.
