Gary Disher has written a series of excellent books including
"Paydirt",
"Kickback" and "Crosskill" all dealing with Wyatt : a usually
hard done
by armed robber. They share some similarities to the Parker
novels
(heists going wrong, a self posessed anti-hero, etc) but
Wyatt is a
little less of a cardboard tough guy. Highly
recommended...
Other than that, in recent years there's been a bit of a
flurry in the
hard boiled stakes but most of these are fairly ordinairy.
The best of
the bunch would probably be John Dale's "Dark Angel"...
