Crime Caper Research

We have chosen the genre of a crime caper for our opening sequence. We researched the genre so we could meet the conventions of it and make the sequence more effective.

"The caper story is a sub genre of Crime fiction. The typical caper story involves one or more crimes (especially thefts, swindles, or occasionally kidnappings) perpetrated by the main characters in full view of the reader. The actions of police or detectives attempting to prevent or solve the crimes may also be chronicled, but are not the main focus of the story."
