Literary crime

… The Visionary Detective by Joyce Carol Oates | The New York Review of Books. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

These may be great reads, great fictions, but they don't sound to me as if they really connect with actual police life. But what do I know? I'm just the son of a cop. "Raymond’s milieu is the chill of Thatcher-era London …" That would be the bad old days before they started slashing soldiers to death in broad daylight.
