by Stephen F. Soitos Afro-American detective fiction's history is traced in a study which examines the works of four black contributors to the genre. Little scholarship has been devoted to Afro-American detective fiction, making this an outstanding contribution to the field and also making for an important black studies addition recommended for college-level literary classes.
