Speaking of DC Books, I wonder if you or any of the readers of this blog know anything about Malayalam crime fiction. I think Malayalam crime films are really good, so I think there must be a strong tradition of crime writing in Malayalam. Unfortunately I cannot read Malayalam. But I would love to know:
1. the most popular crime writers down the years,
2. when crime writing started,
