{"product_id":"9781783160372","title":"Crime Fiction in the City: Capital Crimes","description":"Crime Fiction in the City: Capital Crimes expands upon previous studies of the urban space and crime by reflecting on the treatment of the capital city, a repository of authority, national identity and culture, within crime fiction.  This wide-ranging collection looks at capital cities across Europe, from the more traditional centres of power – Paris, Rome and London – to Europe’s most northern capital, Stockholm, and also considers the newly devolved capitals, Dublin, Edinburgh and Cardiff. The texts under consideration span the nineteenth-century city mysteries to contemporary populist crime fiction. The collection opens with a reflective essay by Ian Rankin and aims to inaugurate a dialogue between Anglophone and European crime writing; to explore the marginalised works of Irish and Welsh writers alongside established European crime writers and to interrogate the relationship between fact and fiction, creativity and criticism, within the crime genre.","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152399614192,"sku":"9781783160372","price":19.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783160372_p0.jpg?v=1763723103","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783160372","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
