Comment: "Thanks, but *novela policiaca* seems more appropriate for *police procedural*. In a *crime novel* the protagonist is not a cop but a criminal. An example would be Hannibal."

Note from asker:
| Gracias, pero novela negra creo que sería noir novel, tough guy detective novel o hard boiled detective novel. En un crime thriller el protagonista es el asesino y no el investigador. Un ejemplo puede ser Hannibla, o El silencio de los inocentes. Muchas gracias igual! |
