American detective dramas are a common and familiar fixture on televisions everywhere – from Dragnet to CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, from Columbo to Twin Peaks. This book explores the genre and its rich history from 1950s television onwards, focusing on the question of how detectives access and attain 'truth'.

Detective dramas and methods of detection are, thus, not just viewed as a genre convention, but as representatives of ideological tendencies.
