A partir de reflexões já publicitadas e de opções particulares de leitura, estabelece-se um ‘tendencioso’ corpus referencial, onde se incorporam diversas tonalidades desta singular grisaille ficcional: a res-peito dos parâmetros convencionais do género, tanto as obras mais ortodoxas quanto as gra-dativamente heterodoxas, mas privilegiando aquelas que indagam na problemática do so-cialmente humano.Palavras chave: literatura negra, literatura policial, literatura brasileira contemporânea.On the Scale of Grey in Brazilian Crime FictionAbstract: In this essay, the intention is to map the plurality of crime writing —that is detective, mystery or crime fiction— which has appeared in Brazil over the last quarter of a century. Working from reflections which have already been published as well as spe-cific reading choices, a “biased” corpus of reference has been established. It incorporates the spectrum of this unique grisaille fiction, with regard to the conventional parameters of the genre, in both the more orthodox works and the more unorthodox works, favouring those that examine the issues of human social concerns.Keywords: crime fiction, hardboiled, detective fiction, contemporary Brazilian literature.[Abstract] In this essay, the intention is to map the plurality of crime writing —that is detective, mystery or crime fiction— which has appeared in Brazil over the last quarter of a century.
