Murder by Death
Log in with Facebook 
Chester Himes - "The Real Cool Killers"
Edward Anderson - "Thieves Like Us"
Kenneth Fearing - "The Big Clock"
William Lindsay Gresham - "Nightmare Alley"
... and basically any- and everything by Patricia Highsmith.
I see Dashiell Hammett is a bit underrepresented on the list now; we might at least also add "The Dain Curse" (which I read for last year's bingo) and "The Glass Key". And "The Big Sleep" for Chandler; hadn't even seen it's not on the list yet (duh!) ...
I'll have another look for more books later; this should be one of the lists where we can come up with more selections for sure.
Some more, as promised ... or threatened:
Paul Cain - "Fast One"
Mickey Spillane - "Kiss Me, Deadly", "I, the Jury"
Gerald Kersh - "Night and the City"
Graham Greene - "Brighton Rock"
Chester Himes - "A Rage in Harlem"
David Goodis - "Black Friday"
Dashiell Hammett: "Red Harvest"
George V. Higgins - "The Friends of Eddie Coyle"
Dorothy B. Hughes - "In a Lonely Place"
Vera Caspary - "Laura"
W.R. Burnett - "High Sierra"
Lionel White - "Clean Break", "To Find a Killer"
Bruno Fischer - "Fools Walk In"
Clifton Adams - "Death's Sweet Song"
David Karp - "The Brotherhood in Velvet"
Richard Hallas - "You Play the Black and the Red Comes Up"
Raymond Chandler - "The Little Sister", "The Lady in the Lake"
Jim Thompson - "Pop. 1280", "The Getaway", "Savage Night", "Hell of a Woman", "After Dark, My Sweet"
Ross MacDonald - "The Blue Hammer", "The Deep Blue Good-by", "The Drowning Pool", "The Chill"
Charles Williams - "River Girl", "Hell Hath No Fury", "A Touch of Death", "Man on the Run"
And thank you for working through the whole thing!
Nah - it becomes a contest between me and the database. :D
