The detective figure in contemporary American crime fiction
increasingly relies on revenge to bring about justice in a society
where there has been a sharp decline in moral values. This study
demonstrates how the notion of the detective as a moral exemplar or
heroic ideal breaks down in the works of writers such as James Ellroy
and Sara Paretsky.
