Carroll John Daly (1889 – January 16, 1958) was a writer of crime fiction. He has been credited with creating the first hard-boiled detective story in 1923, predating the debut of Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op character by several months. During that era, he was considered the leader of the naturalistic school of crime writers. Daly's private detective Race Williams was a rough and ready character with a sharp tongue, and established the model for many later acerbic private eyes.
