本書以明代十二本公案小說集為研究範疇，從秩序觀點探勘晚明社會與文化的變遷。不僅討論清官崇拜或律法意識的層面，尚從重構秩序的視角，觀察倫理秩序、禮教秩序、宗教秩序、天道秩序的文化意涵。內容揭開晚明社會對於清官、婦女、罪僧等社會人物，有不同的對待與期望。內容呈現︰清官與城隍神信仰的綰結，反映明代大小傳統的融合；對於未婚男女私情的寬容，符合「法外容情」的特徵，符合晚明庶民性格的時代趨勢；罪僧故事凸顯明代宗教犯罪的惡化，僧人已然視為強盜與土匪的代名。其他割股故事、入冥審判皆與民俗或信仰有關，值得關注。相較於其他公案小說的研究，本書更以文化視角提供理解晚明社會的路徑，給今日尚有熱情研讀公案小說的讀者，提供對公案奇情的想像方法。
