Recs if you like The Killer Inside Me...

Based on the list/book published in 2006, general editor Peter Boxall.

A list featuring classic hardboiled detective capers—largely cynical novels (and a few story collections) hailing primarily from the 20’s-50’s, populated by quick thinking and hard drinking detectives, femme fatales, gangsters, murders, and periodic guns fights; where coffee is served late at night, and there is almost always an abundance of cigarette smoke…

The best of atmospheric, descriptive, setting-centred neo-noir. Some are better than others.

If you haven’t read these works, at least pretend you have.

List is from The Hipster Handbook by Robert Lanham (AKA I had this book in my own hipster days and wanted to keep a list of how many I actually read)
