Hard-boiled detective
Hard-boiled detective is a type of character that appears in crime and mystery fiction, but occasionally in other genres as well. Generally, but not always, a private investigator with a great deal of cyncism and world-weariness, he investigates crimes for money. For all of his cyncism, the hard-boiled detective is generally quite ethical.
