They could easily have switched out BRIGHTON ROCK (which isn't even set in America) for BLACK WINGS HAS MY ANGEL, one of the best and bleakest pulps ever.
Absolutely.
If I had a pick of Chandlers I wouldn't pick that one.
Nice to see Faulkner’s SANCTUARY among the usual suspects.
One doesn't even have to like crime fiction to compile this list.
Dan, you touched on the issue here: These are some of the best-known, but not necessarily the best.
