Jim:

"Didn't Marlowe do a PI series about a Hammer-like character named Johnny Killain?"

If I remember correctly, Killain was no private eye. He was more like a trouble maker or shooter or something like that. I've "Shake a Crooked Town" (1961?) and it was at least mediocre - but it was a bad translation, so I'd have to give it another try. It was Spillane rather than Chandler, but I'd say it was meant to be Hammett.
