And right you are, Jim.
Any PI writer not influenced by Chandler never read him, but
was probably influenced by imitators.
That said: Didn't Sam Spade follow the same paradigm? Did
Chandler adapt from the Continetal OP and then Hammett adapt
Sam Spade from Chandler's Black Mask work?
The previous paragraph is not a statement or an opinion, but
a question.
