Yeah, Dark Angel in particular is terrific.
Also Caroline Shaw - Cat Catcher and its follow-up whose name
escapes me - get past the fact they're about a woman who
finds lost cats and these are really good - her detective
Lenny Aaron is about as distinctively female a hard-boiled
protagonist as I've come across.
Also Kenneth Cook's extraordinary Thompson-esque 60s outback
noir Wake In Fright
