Example text

As readers, we cannot even feel sure that the narrator is trustworthy, since he is as likely as any other character to be guilty. In ‘Parlor Trick’, for example, we appear at first to be reading another narrative describing the entry of the narrator-protagonist into what we suppose is an alien and threatening environment. We share what we think is his shock at seeing Frank with ‘a thin knife-handle sticking out of one side of his throat’ (52). The first twist in the story comes with the revelation that the narrator himself has put the thin knife in Frank’s throat; the second reversal occurs when he has resigned himself to being taken away for execution by ‘the boys’ but finds that the gun is turned instead on one of his supposed executioners: ‘Frank’s number has been up for a long time’ and McNulty was ‘in it with him’ (61).

His detachment places him much closer to the masculine competence and ‘rightness’ of traditional detective fiction, and so moves him away from a noir sense of uncertainty. The protective presence that Marlowe establishes is above all stylistic. The witty, ironic aloofness of his narrative acts to evaluate and to contain the moral disorder of the society he investigates. When Hammett’s Op is shot in Red Harvest, he issues a declaration of war on Poisonville and on ‘fat Noonan’, the chief of police: ‘ “Now it’s my turn to run him ragged, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

Anarchic human appetites – sometimes sexual, but more often the lust for wealth or power – disorder all relationships from the most personal to the political and economic. In Blood Money, the title itself underlines the symbolic coupling of money and violence. Surreal confusion follows the gathering of 150 gangsters in San Francisco for an assault on The Seaman’s National and The Golden Gate Trust, after which (with trust shattered) murderous greed seems to infect the houses of the city, filling them with death and betrayal: ‘All the house held was fourteen dead men’ (340); ‘Larrouy’s home was pregnant with weapons’ (354).
