The key hard-boiled western is surely Charles Willeford's THE
DIFFERENCE, originally published in 1971 under the title THE
HOMBRE FROM SONORA (under the pseudonym 'Will
Charles').
As for films, I would recommend Stan Dragoti's DIRTY LITTLE
BILLY
(though I guess it's impossible to see these days, unless you
manage to catch one of the infrequent television screenings).
Monte Hellman's westerns are also pretty hard-boiled.
