Unless I'm much mistaken, I believe Brandt Dodson was the guy
who inspired the discussion.
While I'm here, there's an excellent interview in the latest
Crime Spree with Martyn Waites by the always evangelical Ray
Banks:

Subject: RARA-AVIS: Evangelical Christian
Hard-Boiled PI's
Some time ago there was a question on the list
about
whether or not there'd ever been any hard-boiled
PI
novels published for the Evangelical
Market.
Advertised in the latest issues of both MYSTERY
SCENE
and CRIMESPREE is the latest book by a writer
named
Brandt Dodson, a self-proclaimed fan of Hammett
and
Chandler, who's written three novels about
a
hard-boiled PI named Colton Parker for the
Evangelical
Christian publisher Harvest House.
His website's here:
if anyone's interested.
Haven't read the books, so can't comment on them,
but,
as described, the Parker character seemed to fit
most
of the elements of the "Marlowe Pradigm," and
Dodson
makes it clear that he's trying to combine
his
religious convictions with the
Hammett/Chandler
traditions.
