Included are alphabetically arranged entries on 54 writers, most of whom are from Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba. Every effort has been made to include balanced coverage of the few female mystery writers. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes a brief biography, a critical discussion of the writer’s works, and primary and secondary bibliographies. The volume closes with a general bibliography of anthologies and criticism. –BOOK JACKET.
