He also wrote several teleplays and screenplays, including Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, and the 1954 novel The Blackboard Jungle. When the Mystery Writers of America named Hunter a Grand Master, he gave the designation to his alter ego, Ed McBain, best known for his long-running police procedural series about the detectives of the 87th Precinct. This comprehensive companion provides detailed information about all of Evan Hunter's/Ed McBain's works, characters, and recurring themes. From police detective and crime stories to dramatic novels and films, this reference celebrates the vast body of literature of this versatile writer.

Ian Rankin is considered by many to be Scotland's greatest living crime fiction author. Most well known for his Inspector Rebus series--which has earned critical acclaim as well as scores of fans worldwide--Rankin is a prolific author whose other works include spy thrillers, nonfiction books and articles, short stories, novels, graphic novels, audio recordings, television/film, and plays.This companion--the first to provide a complete look at all of his writings--includes alphabetized entries on Rankin's works, characters, and themes; a biography; a chronology; maps of Rebus' Edinburgh; and an annotated bibliography. A champion of both Edinburgh and Scotland, Rankin continues to combine engaging entertainment with socio-political commentary showing Edinburgh as a microcosm of Scotland, and Scotland as a microcosm of the world. His writing investigates questions of Scottish identity, British history, masculinity, and contemporary culture while providing mystery readers with complex, suspenseful plots, realistic character development, and a unique mix of American hard-boiled and procedural styles with Scottish dialects and sensibilities.

Including a biography, chronology and filmography, the book highlights the inseparability of the actor's biography from his works and from the unique combination of talents he brings to his roles.

Fans across the globe are familiar with Diana Gabaldon's bestselling Outlander series and the Starz television series that adapts it. Combining science fiction time travel and historical romance, the Outlanderuniverse has captivated millions with its detail and complexity. However, few readers or viewers realize how large an influence the mystery genre has had on Gabaldon's plots, characters, and writing style. Her Lord John series of novels and short stories is obviously rooted in the crime fiction tradition, although it doesn't play by all of the traditional generic rules. Even the larger Outlandernovels, though, contain at least one mystery in every book. This inclusion of the murder-mystery and other crimes is no accident: the author has stated her love of the genre and her deliberate use of it many times.
This collection of scholarly essays delves into the many connections between the world of Outlander and the world of crime fiction. It analyzes in depth, for the first time, the ways that crime and punishment, vigilante justice, and murder and mystery are represented in both the Outlander and Lord John series. Moving beyond the stereotypical romantic focus, this book demonstrates the variety and complexity of Gabaldon's universe.
