When Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, Tony Hillerman's oddly matched
tribal police officers, patrol the mesas and canyons of their
Navajo reservation, they join a rich tradition of Southwestern
detectives. In Crime Fiction and Film in the Southwest,
a group of literary critics tracks the mystery and crime novel
from the Painted Desert to Death Valley and Salt Lake City. In
addition the book includes the first comprehensive bibliography
of mysteries set in the Southwest and a chapter on Southwest
film noir from Humphrey Bogart's tough hood in The Petrified
Forest to Russell Crowe's hard-nosed cop in L. A. Confidential.
Steve Glassman is professor of communications and humanities
at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Maurice O'Sullivan
is Kenneth Curry Professor of Literature at Rollins College.
