This course is a survey of different forms and sub-genres of suspenseful fiction. We read texts that range from short, classic mysteries to hardboiled novels to police procedurals. In doing so, we use the opportunities offered by the characters'' responses to crime to explore, among other concepts, justice and law and the difference between the two. As we read texts from different nations and different historical periods we examine how these texts reflect and/or create shifts in cultural, social and literary values. Students are required to read closely and critically, and to share and exchange ideas in both verbal and written formats. In addition to posting to a class discussion board, the students extend their critical analysis in a series of short analytical papers and a longer final project that incorporates background research. Prerequisites: EN101
