Very in keeping with the nihilistic world view of the noir, in which everything must die, but especially hope. Not only is the crush hopeless, but Knight is the king of destroying any and all glimmers of hope that might accidentally arise in his love life now and again.

Think of the brilliant Aberystwyth series by Malcolm Pryce in which the town’s not-exactly-sparkling Private Investigator Louie Knight has a hopeless crush on the nightclub singer Myfanwy Montez. Lee Child’s Jack Reacher is the quintessential loner and knight-errant and his persona, too, bonds perfectly with this trope of failed relationships, of his work and his masculine, solitary aura being more important than connecting with a soulmate. The idea behind this trope, the takeaway from it is that this guy is just such a gosh-darn GOAT detective, he’s so committed to his job that romance and sex have been sacrificed on the altar of his overflowing prowess.

Think Detective Inspector Alex Hardy (played by the sublime David Tennant) in the TV series Broadchurch. The alcoholic, miserable, involuntarily celibate detective. A young, single mixed-race woman quite enjoys sex and she gets to now and again have quite enjoyable sex in the novel, some of it on the page. What’s not such an easy sell is that there is fun sex in it. Even for a village-y, (dare I say it?) cozy mystery. No, the crime-related sex is never graphic. Yes, the crime has something to do with sex. “This is a barbaric crime and must be dealt with swiftly.One of the things editors and readers often say about my novel Arya Winters and the Tiramisu of Death is that there is rather a lot of sex and swearing in it, darling. "I shudder at the thought of what was done to her,” said Verma, who has been on a hunger strike for two days to demand justice for the girl. Tina Verma, an activist who was among the 200 protesters gathered Thursday outside the crematorium, said she frequently used to see the girl begging outside a Sufi Muslim shrine just across from the cremation ground. They say police frequently fail to investigate such crimes and survivors and the families of victims struggle to get justice. They say men from dominant castes often use sexual violence as a weapon to reinforce repressive hierarchies. Rights organizations say that woman who are on the lowest level of India’s unforgiving Hindu caste hierarchy - known as Dalits - are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence and other attacks.

Nevertheless such crimes persist, and according to government data a woman is raped every 15 minutes in India.

The attack sparked massive protests and inspired lawmakers to order the creation of fast-track courts dedicated to rape cases and stiffen penalties for those convicted of the crime.įour men sentenced to death for the 2012 attack were later hanged. Rape and sexual violence have been under the spotlight in India since the 2012 gang rape and killing of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus. The suspects are in police custody but under Indian law can't be formally charged until the police investigation is complete. Police said forensic experts were testing her clothing for bodily fluids or other evidence. “The cause of death is inconclusive,” he said. Singh said the extent of the cremation meant a post-mortem examination was unable to establish whether the girl was raped or how she was killed. Villagers said some of the girl's remains were saved from the crematorium. The mother cannot be named due to Indian law that prohibits releasing information that could identify the victims of sexual crimes. She said the priest and three other men at the crematorium told her not to call the police and threatened her. The mother said she saw her daughter's body on the floor of the crematorium with bruises all over. The mother was shown her daughter's body, which the suspects then cremated without calling authorities, police said.

About 30 minutes later, police said, the crematorium’s priest called the mother, who was told that her daughter had been electrocuted. Police said the girl told her mother on Sunday that she was going to get water at a tap at the crematorium in southwest New Delhi.
