If you want to roll Chandler and Hammett's stuff in as noir,
you might have better luck."
Who in Hammett does good deeds? Everyone I can think of was
just doing his job -- sure, some good might come from it, but
it was for a paycheck, not for goodness sake.
Have a better argument for Marlowe doing good deeds (although
he gets a paycheck, too), that whole knight errant thing, but
how does it lead him to is doom? He may be lonely, but
doomed?
