	Crime fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Crime fiction is the genre of fiction that deals with crimes, their detection, criminals, and their motives.
		It is usually distinguished from mainstream fiction and other genres such as science fiction or historical fiction, but boundaries can be, and indeed are, blurred.
		The evolution of the print mass media in the United Kingdom and the United States in the latter half of the 19th century was crucial in popularising crime fiction and related genres.

	Fiction Department - Enoch Pratt Free Library
		The mystery or crime story is one of the oldest and most loved forms of fiction.
		Although it is generally agreed that Edgar Allan Poe’s creation of Detective Auguste C. Dupin marks the beginning of crime fiction, the writer’s fascination with crime can be traced back to the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans.
		Fiction Department staff produces and maintains a collection of high-interest booklists for our readers.

	News for Pulp Fiction (1994) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Pulp Fiction star, 34, admits she is better on the dance floor than crooning on stage, but doesn't believe her voice is so bad that film producers need to arrange for a professional to sing her character Ulla's vocals.
		The Pulp Fiction star, who suffered many years in the showbiz wilderness after his early career faltered, is infuriating studio executives with his over-the-top demands and in the process is estranging himself from powerful allies.
		The Pulp Fiction star has only met his dad twice--once when he was a small child and the again when he was a father himself--and he remembers the latter meeting very clearly.

	January Magazine \| Crime Fiction
		Francis' first book in six years marks the return of jockey-turned-sleuth Sid Halley, who this time out tries to solve the murder of a Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning jockey, advise a shadowy government figure on the consequences of Internet gambling, and tell a horse-owning Lord whether the races he's entering are being fixed.
		Commemorating the release of this ambitious standalone tale and sweeping family saga, we talked with the Florida author about his research techniques, the pleasures and pains of teaching writing, his turn from poetry to crime fiction and his almost-career as a pro tennis player.
		In their first joint writing effort, Bruen and Starr offer up a fl-comedy caper about a Manhattan businessman who hopes to knock off his wife, with the help of his double-dealing girlfriend -- but with interference from a "boob man" flmailer.

	balancing life: Happy hour: the best science fiction last year in the movies
		This is an old fashioned science fiction movie, about a large Alliance ruling the galaxy, who want things their way, and every one placid but happy, and a bunch of rebels who want people to be thinking, different, human individuals.
		Batman begins: OK, Batman’s not really science fiction, but most of his gadgets, and all the villains definitely belong in the realm of science fiction.
		But it turned out to be an at best average caper that had decent special effects, some good action, but missed all chances of making it to the list of memorable comic book movies.

		Financial fiction by Richard Crissman is the sort of caper story that readers of mysteries like most.

		It is the story of the man who pulled a little caper to rob the United States Subtreasury to save the city.

	L. A. Nocturne's Los Angeles Caper Movies
		The first caper flick showing the heist from the planners' point of view.
		Since the box-office success of Pulp Fiction, many films have tried, painfully, to capture that blend of action, madcap humor, and dysfunctional, likeable, unlikely characters - all with their own dark desires - on a predestined course to disaster.
		It ain't Pulp Fiction; however, the plot doesn't try to be, either.

		Until recently, though, the most popular European fictional detectives—at least with American readers—remained Agatha Christie’s mustache-twirling Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and Georges Simenon’s big-brained Parisian, Inspector Maigret, both of whom use their masses of gray matter to restore order whenever chaos threatens.
		Evoking both 1940s film noir and the work of Rigosi’s fellow Italian Massimo Carlotto, this spot-on caper tale pairs compulsive gambler Francesco and the savvy Leila, a hustler who robs the men she picks up in Bologna’s bars.
		The late Cornelisen’s caper novel about four expatriate women who rob the bank of Italy isn’t especially hard-boiled, but it offers an exhilarating tour of the Tuscan countryside—perfect reading for the Italian tourist.

	NPR : Dr. Octagon's Seduction of the Invaders
		The good Doctor, known to hip-hop fans as Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic MCs, has been in the way-back machine, checking out the stream-of-consciousness experimental records Funkadelic made in the early '70s.
		It's as though Dr. Octagon flipped a switch and changed decades: Suddenly it's the underground '80s, when funk was mixed into everything and bands like Fishbone were terrorizing dance floors.
		By the time this science-fiction caper in miniature ends, the styles and funk attitudes are all blurred together, subsumed into the rare bit of contemporary hip-hop that fully commits to celebrating genuine weirdness.

		Using lingo of the era: “mugs” are crooks, while “flatties” are cops (from their uniform caps), history professor Irby follows up last year’s debut “7,000 Clams” with a sophomore genre-bending historical fiction/crime caper involving Frank Hearn, his beautiful fiancée Irene Howard and a gigantic cast of characters — real and fictional.
		Frank and Anderson, the son of a former mayor of Miami, have a beautiful blonde secretary, Nina Randolph, who’s not what she appears to be.
		One of the few good guys on the law enforcement side in Irby’s caper novel is an earnest federal agent from Tampa, Horace Dyer, assigned to Miami to investigate real estate fraud involving Hearn and Anderson.

		"I feel that because of this, science fiction is the form of literature leas affected by Aristotle's dicta with respect to the nature of the human condition, which he saw as immutable, and the nature of man's fate, which he saw as inevitable.
		Yet science fiction is concerned with the human condition and with man's fate.
		'Mundane' fiction, which professes to mirror the real world, is a deceitful heresy; SF is visionary, a map of the future by means of which fans have a private view of the millennium--which fans shall inherit.

		Four-year-old Dirk knew nothing of the fictional hero (who shared the youngster's first name) who would become as much a part of the family as his mother and two sisters.
		Nor could he see his part in all of it, a role he wouldn't assume for another 40 years when the story took twists and turns that not even his father expected.
		But the 12-year-old enjoyed his father's first novel The Mediterranean Caper (Berkley Publishing Group, 2004, $7.99 paperback) when the book was published in 1973, eight years after it had been written.

	Amazon.com: Mediterranean Caper: Books: Clive Cussler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Probably the best way to characterize it is as a really poor imitation of the James Bond films (not the books): indestructible manly hero, sex on the beach with willing beauty, outrageously silly plot, secret submarine base, and worst of all, the villain who explains everything to the hero instead of killing him.
		Set in the early '70s, the book starts with some zany promise, as a German WWI biplane attacks an (fictional) American airbase on Thasos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea, about 75-100 miles east of Thessaloniki.
		The Mediterranean Caper by Clive Cussler is my first Dirk Pitt novel and it has encouraged me to read the rest of the series.
