Description:
“[Panek is] one of the most readable, prolific, and perceptive academic scholars of mystery fiction”—Mystery Scene Until recently, only a privileged few could read the rare, early writings that formed the basis of detective fiction in America and made it one of the most popular literary genres of the 19th century.
