Abstract

This paper surveys the close relationship between science-technology and literature, and more specifically the genre of crime fiction, with the aim of showing that the links that connect those two sources of knowledge are articulated in a wide variety of dimensions: the writers’ storymaking-up or inventive drive founded on scientific processes, their research work in such topics as criminology, sociology, ballistics, bio-chemical analysis, etc. which are to be shown rigorously in their works; also the inclusion and editing of a specialized language, which apparently is a long way off literary language. These facts have allowed the audience to have access to scientific knowledge in non- academic circles, thus contributing to an efficient dissemination of it.
