If I were you, I'd read Willeford's Miami novels (of which
Sideswipe is the third of four, if I recall correctly) in
order. They build on each other.

Me, too.
"I really liked a quote in the Wikipedia entry on Willeford
where someone named Steve Erickson . . ."
Although neither hardboiled or noir, Erickson is a very good
writer, kind of slipstream.
