Derek Raymond spoke very highly of Isaac Babel in his
literary autobiography (as in it's much more about the
literature that influenced him and his writing than about
facts of his life) The Hidden Files. I've been meaning to
read him. Where's a good place to start, the stories you
mention above?

I'd try the Benya Krik stories. I haven't read
Red Cavalry yet, but from descriptions I've read, it sounds
right up the hard-boiled alley.
