Thanks for your answer on my question about the pioneers of
hard-boiled gangster novel! Probably W.R.Burnett was the
first. But D.H.Clarke have also one book about New York's
underworld
- "In The Reign of Rothstein" (1923). I don't know is it
hard-boiled novel or documentary essay?
I started to make the list of hard-boiled fiction writers. I
concentrate attention on writers of old hard-boiled school
("Black Mask" magazine's contributors and others writers of
pulp and paperbacks in spirit of "Gold Medal" series),
including the forgotten and half-forgotten names.

This page is not yet completed and missed some names (Day
Kin, for example, but suppose to add). There are doubts about
some authors. For ex. E.S.Gardner and his series characters
from 'Black Mask' (such as Ed Jenkins, with soft adventures
in spirit Raffles and Lupin). Any remarks are always
welcomed. Vladimir
