Fatal fictions : crime and investigation in law and literature / Alison L. LaCroix, Richard H. McAdams, and Martha C. Nussbaum.

• Lawyers and fiction writers have always confronted crime and punishment. This age-old fascination with crime on the part of both authors and readers is not surprising, given that criminal justice touches on so many political and psychological themes essential to literature, and comes equipped with a trial process that contains its own dramatic structure. This essay collection explores this profound and enduring literary engagement with crime and criminal justice.
