Hm. How about one of the books from the _Berlin Noir_
trilogy, by
Philip Kerr? Probably the first one, _March Violets_ would be
best.
I think I liked that best of the three.
Or if you're looking for one set in a more modern time, too,
I
rather liked Martin Cruz's _Gorky Park_ and _Polar Star_;
though
they weren't exactly HB, they do have a very HB protaganist
(in
the sense that he's a moral person trying to maintain that
stance
in an amoral world).
