Why isn't a series about an ex-cop operating a detective agency in a large American metropolis, telling his stories in the first person, who's handy with his fists, and handy with a gun, and talks the talk of the common, working man (the LITERATE common, working man, but the common working man), whose typical cases involve gangsters, kidnappers, bank robbers, etc., "exactly hadboiled?"
