Book excerpt: Critical Essays on English and Bengali Detective Fiction brings together three strains of detective fiction: British, American, and Bengal. The import of detective fiction from Britain has influenced generations of writers of Bengali detective fiction. In this anthology of critical essays by scholars on detective fiction, we have divided the contents into three groups. First, there are essays on classic British detective fiction, with essays on Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, P.D.James, Kate Atkinson, and Margery Allingham. The second section is on American hard-boiled fiction with essays on Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. The third section is on Bengali detective fiction with essays on Hemendra Kumar Roy, Saradindu Bandyopadhay and Satyajit Ray. Together, these essays bring three strains of detective fiction into conversation to show the gradual postcolonial attempt of Bengali detective fiction to outgrow colonial influences and create an original and organic tradition of regional and vernacular detective fiction.

Book excerpt: In this deliciously noir novel from the creator of HBO's Bored to Death, idiosyncratic private detective Happy Doll embarks on a quest to help a dying friend in a sun-blinded Los Angeles as "quirky, edgy, charming, funny and serious" as its protagonist (Lee Child). Happy Doll is a charming, if occasionally inexpert, private detective living just one sheer cliff drop beneath the Hollywood sign with his beloved half-Chihuahua half-Terrier, George. A veteran of both the Navy and LAPD, Doll supplements his meager income as a P.I. by working through the night at a local Thai spa that offers its clients a number of special services. Armed with his sixteen-inch steel telescopic baton, biting dry humor, and just a bit of a hero complex, the ex-cop sets out to protect the women who work there from clients who have trouble understanding the word "no." Doll gets by just fine following his two basic rules: bark loudly and act first. But when things get out-of-hand with one particularly violent patron, even he finds himself wildly out of his depth, and then things take an even more dangerous twist when an old friend from his days as a cop shows up at his door with a bullet in his gut. A Man Named Doll is more than just a fascinating introduction to one truly singular character, it is a highly addictive and completely unpredictable joyride through the sensuous and violent streets of LA.

As the storytellers grow more desperate, their tales become more extreme, and they ruthlessly plot to make themselves the hero of the reality show that will surely be made from their plight. This is one of the most disturbing and outrageous books you’ll ever read, one that could only come from the mind of Chuck Palahniuk.

Book excerpt: It isn't fair. I did everything you asked... The metal face-plate is wrenched tight. She screams as the pump whines and suddenly, burning rubber is scorching the flesh of her cheeks, destroying her face and leaving behind a hideous apparition. Cameron Rice is discovered in a rail-yard. A fashion model, she had everything to live for, until a photographer talked her out of her clothes. Found naked, evidence suggests Cameron has been sexually abused. But more disturbing, Cameron's features are obscured by a rubber doll's-face, fused to the front of her skull. Cause of death: Suffocation. Pathologist Frank Reid has Cameron on the table and eight other fashion-girls are reported missing. Frank fears that a serial killer is on the loose in New York's Garment District. The investigation falls to Buddy Sheean, an inept detective who is more interested in exploiting the glamorous complainants, than he is in solving the crime. But when Buddy bends model, Debbie Langford over, to push up her skirt, he doesn't realize she has ties to the CIA. And that she is about to unload a shitload of grief on his sorry ass: Taz Azaria. Halfway around the world, a coffin arrives from America and is delivered to the apartment of Alisha Wong. The consignment indicates the body is Li-Meng Yan, eighty-six years, who died while visiting the US. Mrs Wong has the box opened and peers inside at the naked teenager.
