| I'm not as familiar with this genre as you guys are. The only name that jumps to mind is Sam Spade. A he's a work of fiction. | |

| I'm much more of a cosy person than hardboiled, but I have to go with Phillip Marlow. I can see how Rockford sort of fits into the genre, but he's also pretty funny (not to mention his various sidekicks) -- does that count? The humor in Rockford certainly lightens the mood. | |
