Juri,
I think you have to include David Peace and his Red Riding
Quartet (1974
- 1977 -1980 -1983 ). These 4 books form one of the best noir
writing of these recent years.
Also, a talented Mexican writer who was translated into
English, I think: Rolo Diez, mainly for his recent series
with his atypical cop Carlos Hernandez (maybe you have it in
Finnish?). Irony and corruption in very interesting HB/noir
novels ("La vida que me doy", and other novels).
I personally would include Kem Nunn, as he produce so little
but always of high value. A new novel was published
recently.
Hope this helps.

Juri Nummelin :
>I'm starting an article (with interviews of at least
JT Lindroos, Tapani, Dave Z. and Charles Ardai and perhaps
Domenic Stansberry) about the new hardboiled/noir revival.
I'd like you to nominate the best novels in the genre since
the year 2000. There have been many new writers and new
publishers etc. and the activity is still on the rise. Who
are the essential authors and what are the essential
books?
