Munseys has batch of Dashiell Hammett short works, including a batch of the Continental Op stories. The longer Hammett work still seems to be encumbered on copyrights.

Munseys is a good source of noir stuff aside from Hammett -- look in the Pulp Fiction category. Lots of Ed Lacy and others.

Munseys makes stuff available in eBookwise EB1150, HTML, iSilo, Kindle, Mobipocket, MS Lit, PDF, Plucker, and Rocket ebook formats.

Christie was many things, but "noir" wasn't one of them.
