Fortunately, visibility was good on the winding road, about halfway up the steep fell side. Though it was only three o’clock in the afternoon, it was already starting to get dark as the sun sank below the hills to the west. “Here they are,” said DS Winsome Jackman as they came around a bend and saw a patrol car stopped by a metallic blue Megane, reducing the two lanes to one. Banks brought the car to a halt by the tapes, and he and Winsome got out, flashing their warrant cards. One of the uniformed officers was talking to a woman beside the Megane, while his partner kept an eye on the road in order to warn any oncoming traffic to slow down. All three looked twice at Winsome. Not only because she was beautiful, which she was, but because it wasn’t often you saw a six-foot-tall black woman on Belderfell Pass. Or anywhere else in the Eastvale area, for that matter. As usual, Winsome took it in her stride, edging to the sideline and taking out her notebook and pen.

  • Detecting Gender Images of the Contemporary Woman in Crime Fiction by Patricia Cornwell and Peter Robinson
    Beteckning: Department of Social Science and Humanities Detecting Gender Images of the Contemporary Woman in Crime Fiction by Patricia Cornwell and Peter Robinson Caroline Sims May 2010 D-Esssy English Literature English D Master PhD Gabriella Åmansson/ PhD Maria Mårdberg Abstract This study maintains a focus within the genre: crime fiction. There are two main strands. First, there is an exploration of what strategies are adopted by two female protagonists to achieve professional success in a male dominated setting. More specifically, it investigates Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta from the Scarpetta-series by Patricia Cornwell and D.S Annie Cabbot from the Inspector Banks series by Peter Robinson and their relationship to authority, power, marriage and children. The Fin-de-Siècle provides the basis for the under- lying definition of gender through its skewed formulation of female norms. Women were to centre their existence within the domestic domain of life as perfect wives and mothers. Furthermore, they were considered unsuitable for professional commitments due to fragile health and domination of emotions over reason. In this essay it is argued that, in these novels, traces of these expectations regarding the nature of womanhood are still current and that the protagonists have to challenge these openly to reach success. Secondly, in agreement with claims by Judith Halberstam in her work Female Masculinity, the study exemplifies how the selected protagonists are portrayed as punished because of their disobedience to the pre-established norm of womanhood. This punishment takes three forms: psychologically, by being devalued, criticised and ignored; professionally, by being legally questioned and accused of severe incompetence and physically by being victims of sexual assault.

  • Peter Robinson
    Book Interview Peter Robinson Cold Is the Grave ISBN13: 9780380809356 Q: How did you make the jump from poetry and literature to crime fiction? What drew you to the genre, and what keeps you there? A: For years I wrote only poetry and studied literature in general. In the late seventies and early eighties, I found myself dissatisfied with the direction in which poetry was going and became more interested in its formal structures. The next thing I knew I was tending towards narrative verse, so it wasn't such a great leap to prose fiction. Crime fiction was immediately attractive because of its formal and structured nature, though I have tried to move away from some of the stricter requirements since then&#8212and that's probably what keeps me there, the feeling that you can push at the boundaries, go further with each book. It was also interesting to me because it seemed to provide a way for a writer both to tell a good story and say something about society and human nature, and that's something else that keeps it fresh for me. The writers who first drew me to the genre were Raymond Chandler, Georges Simenon and Ross Macdonald. Q: Where do your ideas come from? Specifically, how did you develop Cold is the Grave? A: Ideas come from all over the place, and Cold is the Grave has several sources. First, when I was writing Blood at the Root, I did a lot of research over the Internet and was amazed and appalled at the number of Neo-Nazi Web sites.
