Who are the most important Canadian crime and detective writers? How do they help represent Canada as a nation? How…
do they distinguish Canada’s approach to questions of crime, detection, and social justice from those of other countries? The Routledge Introduction to Canadian Crime Fiction provides a much-needed investigation into how crime and detection have been, are, and will be represented within Canada’s national literature, with an attention to contemporary popular and literary texts. The book draws together a representative set of established Canadian authors who would appear in most courses on Canadian crime and detective fiction, while also introducing a few authors less established in the field. Ultimately, the book argues that crime fiction is a space of enormously productive hybridity that offers fresh new approaches to considering questions of national identity, gender, race, sexuality, and even genre.

This volume combines three of Richard Rohmer's best-selling novels in one book. Ultimatum, Exxoneration, and Periscope Red are all fast-paced,…
incisive novels in which Rohmer makes fiction read like fact. They are chilling visions of a world of military conflict, legal and political entanglements, and Canada's role in domestic and international spheres. The issues inside are just as important to Canada today as they were when the books were written. In all of these works, Rohmer demonstrates his insider's knowledge of the energy industry and the military, and his master storyteller's ability to bring it alive.
