Crime Busters With Zimmer Frames
Aging crime fiction protagonists struggle to remain credible action heroes decades after their literary debuts, forcing authors to artificially maintain their physical vigor beyond plausibility.
OK, so I admit to being easily amused, as well as famously pedantic. I enjoy imagining how veteran crime fiction authors must struggle to keep older, best-selling central characters active and virile enough to continue battering baddies when they are of a seniority associated with retirement homes. That it happens a lot might illustrate how frequently authors fail to envisage their central characters still dodging lead and slinging punches forty years after their crime fiction debuts.
