  Dashiell Hammett
  Charles Willeford
  Chester Himes
  K.C. Constantine
   James Crumley
  Ross Macdonald
  Newton Thornburg
  Raymond Chandler
  James Sallis
   George Pelecanos

Daniel Woodrell
  Jon A. Jackson

Charles McCarry
  Jim Thompson

Jean-Patrick Manchette

Dan Marlowe
  Cornell Woolrich
   Charles Williams
  Stephen Greenleaf
  Jonathan Valin
    Jackson should make the list for his Fang series, and even his stand-alone, GO BY GO, is excellent. (Why isn't this book in paperback? Why has it been so overlooked by the mainstream?)
