Since I'm new to hardboiled fiction, I don't know how common recurring themes are in this genre, but having read the work of several writer who are securely ensconced in the canon, I've found that most of them have a theme that they repeat with variations throughout most of their work. So many of those themes are about their place in the family, or some family drama that was imprinted on their brain. Maybe it's the mark of a great writer.
