I feel like--could be wrong--that mid-century hardboiled fiction has the corrupt cop as the exception, not the rule?

@HeerJeet Not for Sherlock Holmes! The cops are just not very competent. -
@zunguzungu@HeerJeet You mean like the cop character is an exception w/in his Dept., or there are few hard-boiled novels with corrupt cops?
