Rob,
Two new ones you might like are
Boyos by Richard Marinick or Nobody Runs Forever by Richard
Stark. Both are really good books. Marinick is a fist time
novelist.
A couple of others that you
might like are The Narrowback or Bad Connection by Michael S.
Ledwidge, I've never been disappointed by Ledwidge.
Hope this helps,
Glenn
