What gives crime fiction its distinctive shape and form? What makes it such a compelling vehicle of social and political critique? 'Unwilling Executioner' argues that the answer lies in the emerging genre's complex and intimate relationship with the bureaucratic state and modern capitalism, and the contradictions that ensue once the state assumes control of the criminal justice system.
