description: Kayman teaches in the Department of Anglo-American Studies at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. In this study, he views mystery/detective stories as "narratives concerned with a modern territory of the repressed . . . bounded by the discourses of the realist Novel, Science and Law . . ." and he makes the case for these narratives being read " as symbolic and formal explorations in the representation of the mysterious territories of society and of the psyche . . . ."
