"Sometimes people have the idea that crime fiction is a lesser genre. I cannot tell you how much I reject that. Every piece of literary fiction I read these days I think of as crime fiction, because it is. Hamlet is crime fiction. To Kill a Mockingbird is crime fiction. Heaven knows Oedipus is crime fiction." ~Julia Keller
