belated welcome to you.
I would recommend Cain's Postman, Gresham's Nightmare Alley,
and Anderson's Thieves Like Us. I think that all three of
these are available in one volume, too, if you are
interested. Those are noirs. If you are interested in the
hardboiled detective, Hammett's Maltese Falcon and Chandler's
The Big Sleep are considered classic for a damned good
reason. Of course, you've heard all this before if you've
been reading the list for two years. But it's always worth
repeating.
