I would suggest "That Evening Sun" as another hardboiled
Faulkner tale. Among other things, Faulkner casually mentions
that one of the characters ends up dead in a ditch, her
throat cut by her husband. It seems to me that a lot of
Faulkner has a certain air of menace. His writing wasn't as
straightforward as most crime writing, and I didn't like a
lot of it (I
*hated* THE HAMLET, which I was forced to read in college),
but when it works, its very good.
