Perversely. In the context of the crime/anti-crime definition
in which it was written, a PI novel can only be classed as a
crime novel if the PI is a victim or a criminal. Having an
emotional attachment to his career is irrelevant. Unless his
career (the thing he loves) is under threat, in which case
somebody on this list will point out that the PI is a victim.
Which is why I pointed it out first.
