Abstract

The article analyzes the forms of trespass in Colombia's first woman-authored detective novels by Verónica Villa Agudelo titled "Marina y el caso de Plata" and "Marina y un caso en el aire." Topics include views on the position of Marina, the protagonist in both novels, as the first female fictional investigator to appear in Colombia, the gendered connotations of the concept of trespass, and the key means of solving the two murders that the character of Marina investigates in the novels.
