Noir

Noir fiction is a name given to a mode of crime fiction which can be regarded as a subset of the hardboiled style.

In this sub-genre, the protagonist is usually not a detective, but instead either a victim, a suspect, or a perpetrator. He is someone tied directly to the crime, not an outsider called to solve or fix the situation.

Raymond Chandler
It was a cool day and very clear. You could see a long way-but not as far as Velma had gone.
Raymond Chandler, Farewell, My Lovely

Susan  Rowland
George’s utterance of the nest and the trap belonged to a bigger mystery she did not yet understand. One day I will, she promised herself. She would stake her life that those last words from her son would be solved by her. They were steppingstones into… whatever the wind and the stars and the valiant trees held for her.
Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds
