He made his real mark, however, with a string of hard-boiled mystery novel (mostly with small-town California settings), the first of which was The Man Who Murdered Himself (1936). His final published novel, Build My Gallows High (William Morrow & Co., 1946), is generally regarded as his best, and its adattamento (by "Homes" himself) into the film noir classic Out of the Past assured his place in film history. Mainwaring explained to intervistatore Pat McGilligan that he regarded the novel as a departure from his earlier literary efforts: With Build My Gallows High, I wanted to get away from straight mystery novel. Those detective stories are a bore to write. You've got to figure out "whodunit". I'd get to the end and have to say whodunit and be così mixed up I couldn't decide myself.
