"Cyberpunk," which I'm also having difficulty typing this
evening. John Shirley from that group almost made my last
list; Lewis Shiner's SLAM is pretty much a solid hb, but not
sf like much of his other work.
Among the Splatterpunk and related horror writers, it's also
hard to swing a dying cat w/o hitting hb folk: Joe R.
Lansdale, Shirley, Douglas Winter, David Schow...going back a
bit further, Dennis Etchison....

Philip K. Dick would be on my list, DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF
ELECTRIC SHEEP always struck me as hard-boiled. And Walter
Mosley's story collection FUTUREWORLD has a real hard-boiled
feel to it.
Some of the stuff in the "Cuber-Punk" sub-genre seems like it
would qualify. Authors Neal Stephenson (SNOW CRASH) and
William Gibson come to mind.
