The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Global Crime Fiction will be the first major reference book in the emerging field of global/world crime fiction, and is intended as a key resource for further developing this field. The Encyclopedia is ambitious in scope, with entries on all major national crime fiction traditions in Africa, Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America, North Africa and the Middle East, North America and the Caribbean, and Oceania. It will also contain entries on significant global crime writers, global centres of crime fiction and important transnational topics. Entries will range from 500 to 10,000 words.
