		The Detective fiction author Ellery Queen (pseudonym of authors Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee) is also credited with the continued interest in mystery fiction thanks to the namesake magazine which began in 1941.
		An organization for the authors of mystery, detective, and crime fiction was begun in 1945, called the Mystery Writers of America.

		Universally this character tended to be a middle-aged spinster who competed with and outsmarted the police detective officially on the scene, rather than a professional detective.

		Her detectives were almost always women, and the stories were told as first-person narratives.

	The History of Detective Fiction - Crime - Mystery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Detective fiction, as we know it today, truly began in 1841 when Edgar Allan Poe introduced Monsieur C. Auguste Dupin in the short story The Murders in the Rue Morgue.
		This genre reached the peak of its success with the advent of the 'yellowbacks', so called because of the distinctive yellow covers, they were cheaply produced throw-away publications that usually appealed to the readers more lurid instincts.
		Such was the appetite for crime and mystery stories amongst the populus at large that publishers turned out masses of pulp titles with varying degrees of success.

	Film noir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Detective series, prevalent on American television during the period, updated the hardboiled tradition in different ways, but the show conjuring the most noir tone was a horror crossover touched with shaggy, Long Goodbye–style humor: Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974–75), featuring a Chicago newspaper reporter investigating strange, usually supernatural occurrences.
		The British miniseries The Singing Detective (1986), written by Dennis Potter, tells the story of a mystery writer named Philip Marlow; widely considered one of the finest neo-noirs in any medium, some critics cite it as the greatest television production of all time.
		The characteristic heroes of noir are described by many critics as "alienated"; in the words of Silver and Ward, "filled with existential bitterness." Certain archetypal characters appear in many film noirs—hardboiled detectives, femmes fatales, corrupt policemen, jealous husbands, intrepid claims adjusters, and down-and-out writers.

	Amazon.com: Chasing the Dime: Books: Michael Connelly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		There is a crusty police detective who plays a major role in the story and there are cryptic references to previous story elements from the Bosch novels, but the principal character this time is a scientist-entrepreneur who is the founder of a high-tech startup company trying to develop "molecular computer" technology.
		His goal is to create a supercomputer the size of a dime (hence the book's title) - and he's about to make a huge breakthrough that will advance the state of the art a long way towards that end.
		"Chasing the Dime" is something of a departure for Connelly, taking the reader not just away from the ongoing life of detective Harry Bosch, but also away from the gritty, noir world that most of his work inhabits.

		The lives of these two damaged, all-too-human figures intersect in a typically extravagant story that is at once a murder mystery, a legal thriller, and a psychological drama of considerable subtlety and power.
