Editorial Reviews

Review

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. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: The Blues Detective: A Study of African American Detective Fiction (Paperback)
Soitos has written a splendid take on black detective fiction and deserves kudos for his enterprising spirit. I loved the entire book. Does anyone have Dr. Soitos' email address? If so email me offline at danbloom@reporters.net [I am doing a newspaper story on the author...and need to locate him ASAP. Steve, you there? Bloomy here in Taiwan...]
