Ben Hur, 1866

There's a great overview of detective novels by William Marling, PhD, over here.
One nice gem from Edgar Allen Poe, the creator of the detective novel:
[a] tale, a species of composition which admits of the highest development of artistical power in alliance with the widest vigour of imagination.
The site presently focuses on the Hard Boiled school, and has a nice number of related links, including Film Noir. Definitely worth checking out.
