shanaquiI'm looking for any crime/mystery fiction with a disabled 'detective' character. Define disabled as 'has some problem that an abled person would consider to be an impediment to investigation'.
On the last day of my crime fiction course, my lecturer was asking us what kinds of minority detectives we'd like to see on the course. She went through a list -- black detective, lesbian detective, gay detective, dog detective... and then a pause, and then disabled detective. Followed by the comment that that was "scraping the barrel".
I want to prove her wrong and send her a list of disabled detectives. They don't have to actually be a detective, just be the person in the narrative who is following all the clues.
