Something I cam across recently that might fit the bill is MacKinlay
Kantor's Diversey. I wouldn't call it hard-boiled, but I'd say it's about
a more or less ordinary guy who finds himself living next door to a
hard-boiled world.

It's far from great, but the atmosphere is interesting, and I think that's
what you're looking for.
