Essays by Andreas Apostolidis regarding the detective novel: the appendices from the historical series of detective literature by Agra, which began in the mid-1980s and mainly concerns the American hardboiled narrative through its European reception: Charm and distortion in the detective novel.
From Hammett and Chandler, through Burnett and Charyn, to Highsmith and Ellroy. And then a series of unpublished talks and lectures by the author with peculiar prompts, such as a lecture at the Police Cadet Academy of Rethymno and a class at the Neo-Hellenic Institute of Sorbonne about the history of the genre and its contemporary trends.
