Based on the attempts I've seen, hard-boiled is much harder to
parody than
the analytic detective story, perhaps because incorporates its
own satire.
I liked Westlake's "The Ultimate Caper" in the
_Murderous_Schemes_
anthology. I'm told by connoisseurs that the best comedic
writer, merging
noir humor and Black Humor into seamless literature, is K.
Friedman.
The Guy Noir compilation is a cassette.
Yours,
Josh
