Library: Mysteries and Thrillers

Everybody loves a good mystery. That includes fans of Geek Culture, who have adopted such classic detectives, spies and kick-ass heroines as Sherlock Holmes, James Bond and Lisbeth Salander into their ranks. These characters live on decades after the death of their creators with new adventures in both the written words of novels and the graphic art of comic books. Even the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has been transformed into a pseudo-superhero in recent years, adding to the popularity of the genre.
