Many of us have noted Crumley's influence on the genre. Well,
in many ways, that's just Ross Macdonald's influence at one
remove. It's impossible to read Crumley's first PI novel, The
Wrong Case, without thinking of RM. Hell, the "never sleep
with a woman with more troubles than your own" epigraph is
(somewhat erroneously) attributed to Macdonald, or Archer
(who had, in turn, attributed the quote to "a wise man from
Chicago," referring to Nelson Algren -- it's in Walk on the
Wild Side).
