Megan Abbott, whose noir novel 'Die a Little' has been optioned by Universal, taught an introductory course in hardboiled fiction at The New School in Manhattan a couple of years ago. The pdf file is a copy of a handout she distributed the first evening to shorthand the overall “geneaology” which connects and puts into perspective some of the books and authors covered in the course.
