About
"Resisting Arrest suggests that detective stories have less to do with fulfilling our hidden desires, as psychoanalytic explanations have traditionally asserted, than with purposively thwarting them. Rushing argues that the genre is in fact constituted principally by the promises on which it fails to deliver."--BOOK JACKET.
