********* Very close, Larry! A Gardner web site says he wrote
dozens of pulp fiction stories in the 1920's, like Mario
points out, but didn't pen the first Perry Mason's until the
early 1930's.
I did come up with another possibility: Fitzgerald's THE
GREAT GATSBY. It was definitely pre-1930, published in 1926,
but I'm still calling it a possibility because I'm still
skeptical about it being hard- boiled. Guess I'll find out
soon.
And nobody has rang in on whether Farrell's THE GIRL EVERY-
BODY KNEW, which came out in 1928, is hardboiled or
not.
