At Swancon 40 Alex Isle , Sally Beasley , myself and Stephen Dedman participated in my panel "Magical and SF Detective Fiction: Police Procedurals and similar in non mainstream settings". I had wanted to run it at CrimeScene, but were not able to do anything about it at the time. We had quite a big audience and couldn't cover everything we wanted to in the hour, but we got a lot discussed.
I have a partial list of recs, some I need more detail on, as I was adding to my list of notes from the other speakers at the time.
This is mostly just my rough notes.
