I'm working my way through the Penguin Portable Graham
Greene. This was my first exposure to _Brighton Rock_, which
the editor describes as a "crime novel." I gather from the
amazon.com comments that it is not a PI novel
(although one of the characters takes on an avenging-angel
role), but from the chapter I read it appears certainly to be
hard-boiled.
And to take the _characters_ of the characters fully into
account -- that is, it's an honest-to-God novel.
Speaking of which -- are there any (other) noir-ish crime
novels in which Catholicism is so important to the
story?
