Directions to Solve
Detective glories tend to glorify crime. Murderers, gangsters and crooks all kinds are described as tough, cunning and courageous individuals who know how to take care of themselves and how to get what they want. In James McCain's The Postman Always Rings twice, for instance the villain is much more a impressive character than his victim. He is casual brave smart and successful with women. It is true that he finally gets caught. But he is punished for a crime that he did not commit, so that his conviction is hardly a triumph of justice. Besides, looking back over the exciting life of the criminal, the reader might conclude that it was worth the risk.

The passage refers to James McCain's "The Postman Always Rings Twice", which is an example of a detective story.
The passage describes the villain in the novel as impressive, but it does not say that McCain himself possesses those qualities.
Instead, it critiques how such stories tend to glorify criminals.
