The connection between westerns and private eye fiction has
often been noted, particularly by John Caweli in Adventure,
Mystery and Romance, tracing it all back to Jaems Fenimore
Cooper. Sometimes the comparison and contrast has been made
explicit, as in Coogan's Bluff with Clint Eastwood and its
shadow McCloud with Dennis Weaver.
I'm sure Elmore Leonard is very aware of the ties,
considering one of his crime novels, City Primeval, was
subtitled High Noon in Detroit.
