    What is the attraction of crime fiction? How has the hard-boiled attitude evolved over the years? What's with all the serial killers in this generation's crime fiction? Leonard Cassuto, professor of English at Fordham, is the author of Hard-Boiled Sentimentality: The Secret History of American Crime Stories (2008, Columbia). Cassuto's articles about American crime fiction have appeared in The Boston Globe, The Wall Street Journal, the Minnesota review, and other publications. SJ Rozan, a native New Yorker, is the author of eleven novels. Her work has won the Edgar, Shamus, Anthony, Nero, and Macavity awards for Best Novel and the Edgar for Best Short Story. She's served on the National Boards of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, and is ex-President of the Private Eye Writers of America.
