SLEUTHS,SIDEKICKS
AND STOOGES
An annotated bibliography of detectives, their assistants and their rivals in crime, mystery and adventure fiction, 1795-1995
Joseph GREEN and Jim FINCH Published by The Scolar Press
This is a major reference work on crime, mystery and adventure fiction in English. With over 7,000 entries from American and British crime fiction writing, listed alphabetically by detective, it provides a wealth of information about the sleuths, their sidekicks and the police chiefs who try to thwart them.
In addition, each entry provides publication details for the books in which the detective appears (for both the UK and the US) and gives biographical details of the author. For ease of cross-reference, the volume is indexed by sidekick, protagonist, author and title.
No other bibliography of fiction in this field covers as many detectives and gives information on their aides and their rivals.
