my favorite Greene is "The End of the Affair"; not crime
fiction and hence not "hardboiled" in that sense though the
narrator could fit the bill for a hardboiled character.
"Brighton Rock" and "The Third Man" are both crime novels,
and at least have elements of hardboiled and noir (actually
I've never read the third man, but I understand it follows
the film very closely; IIRC, the book was actually adapted
from the film rather than vice versa, though Greene wrote
both).
