Police Detectives
Wildly popular in television and movie MYSTERIES, the Police Detective sub-genre is characterized by protagonists that work within a police department. This includes police officers and detectives as well as forensic teams. These novels have a more edgy tone and will have more gritty violence. The crime is solved using a team approach, so the point of view may vary.
Readers that are drawn to these MYSTERY novels enjoy the “behind-the-scenes” look into the world of crime solving. Therefore, it is important to provide Police Detective novels that are authentic.
