In "a vital mix of literary criticism, personality profiles, and imaginary geography" (New Statesman and Society), Williams seeks out the mythical America of the nation's most astute chroniclers--the crime writers--to find Elmore Leonard's Miami, Sara Paretsky's Chicago, and Andrew Vachss' New York, among others.
