Barry Forshaw has made a career out of studying the dames, pistols, machismo, and glistening
city streets that define crime fiction; with
previous books such as Death in a Cold Climate: A
Guide to Scandinavian Crime Fiction and The Rough
Guide to Crime Fiction seeking to provide a comprehensive survey of the genre, he's made himself, to quote the book jacket of British Crime Film: Subverting the Social Order, «the UK's principal expert on crime fiction.»
Meanwhile the
city itself isn't actually all that much bigger than the one seen in the
previous game, and actually seems to have a less complex street system, although given that this is supposed to be a map taken from a strategy
guide I'm going to assume there's more complexity to the layout.
