Haven't read Bill James yet, though I've heard lots of good
things about him, so I can't personally comment.
Why aren't his books procedurals. Is the police work
deliberately and pointedly inaccurate? Is there not even a
pretense of accuracy a la Elizabeth Linnington?
If the police work is accurately depicted (or even
purported to be accurate), then it is a police
procedural.
