Asian Crime Fiction
Here is a book list I put together for a display. I don't much care for Scandinavian crime, but it has been credited with encouraging the growth of international crime fiction in English. These books have Asian characters or Asian settings or both. I include only books that our library owns, but the list might be of use to librarians, or as a reading checklist. Where only the series name is given, see Fantastic Fiction for titles. The image, which I borrowed from Grand Theft Auto, was used on my display poster, with the brushstroke font Bonzai.
