* ''Literature/TheFalconsMalteser'' is a spoof of the HardboiledDetective genre which gets its title from the book. It includes many other allusions to the book, including an international criminal known as The Fat Man (although by the time the events of the book take place he has lost 21 stone through dieting on doctor's advice, now closely resembles a skeleton and has retained his old nickname for professional purposes), two AmbiguouslyGay sidekicks, an AlmostDeadGuy who is shot and only has time to mutter an incomplete explanation before dying, and a MacGuffin which is, as the title suggests, a box of Maltesers.
