Summary/Abstract: The article is a survey of a number of British and American crime fiction authors, part of whom were introduced to the Bulgarian literary market with just one of their works while the others were not introduced at all during the first half of the 20th century. Among them are writers who are well-known to the wide readership as well as such who are not known in Bulgaria though they have contributed a lot to the development of the different crime sub-genres. The article is an attempt to explain what reasons the Bulgarian publishers might have had to omit such authors and their works during the discussed period of time.
