There is a new category of authors blurring the line between reality and fiction. These authors are women with occupations in the criminal justice system—lawyers, police officers, and forensic investigators—who publish crime fiction with characters that resemble their creators. They have real experience and so their messages about unequal justice systems are more compelling. This book presents the first evaluation of this category of authors, including chapters on Dorothy Uhnak, Kathy Reichs, and Linda Fairstein.
