Hey J.B.

Interesting question, been a while since I saw this one. My vote would go to James Ellroy if I had to pick one.

Picking a few more I would say Richard Stark, Paul Cain (Fast One), Dashiell Hammett (Red Harvest), George V Higgins (The Friends of Eddie Coyle) and Ken Bruen.

Cheers/Mattias
