This is the bookstore that I've spent most of my life lurking about in (btw highly recommended -- there are branches, but the mother store is in Portland, Oregon). "Crime" and "Mystery" are separate sections.

When I click on crime I get to "true crime" and other non-fiction sections. Are you sure that fiction books are under crime? As I understand it powell is kind of special. I usually visit a lot of book stores when I am in the US and all the shops I have been in have shelved fiction mystery/crime under mystery (in the UK they are shelved under crime). Only special mystery bookstores have sub sections but the sub sections are more specialized then the distinction you made between mystery and crime. They can be cosys, "food mysteries", and so on.
