That famous line is from Chandler's story "Red Wind," by the way.
Regarding rural hard-boiled settings, I believe Jim Thompson
wrote some; also, there are the swamp or backwoods sagas and fit
the category. The Travis McGee series occasionally takes place in
rural settings, as well. Still, I usually associate hard-boiled
with urban settings, even though it isn't always.
