Grebstein in Madden's Tough Guys book considers Hammett's
story "Fly Paper" to be his first hardboiled story, but
Hammett had many stories before this, didn't he? I've seen it
referred elsewhere as his first hardboiled story. Is there
something distinctive about "Fly Paper" that would give
Grebstein reason to label it as Hammett's first hardboiled
story instead of earlier ones? If yes, what is it?
