I hope you enjoy it. It was meant to be a homage to the books of the day that influenced me a great deal, Chandler and Hammett being the obvious ones. However, there is a lot of other influences in there too, notably James Ellroy and Jim Thompson (two of the greatest noir writers ever), and a lot of other cultural mish-mash that was churning around in my head at the time, films too obviously. I talk about it in my blog here: http://thecrozierreport.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
will give it a go also...stumbled upon this thread while looking for hats- of all things; have a library of books still calling to me, and the
noir genre is a favorite-not just the times and settings, but the damn writing is plain old good. After having studied Post-Modern literary
theory and it's critical machinations, sitting back and reading a well-wrought piece of noir is a relief and a pleasure.
