hmm.. it's not quite what you're after and probably far too Australian.. but I've been reading the Les Norton series about a larrikin underworld bouncer and the shit he gets up to. It starts in the 80's though so theres lots of ocker slang. The other series I've been into is the Tomorrow series by John Marsden. It's not exactly adult reading though.. we were takling about what you'd do if we were invaded in the office and one of my younger employees bought in the first of the series the next day. It's about a bunch of teens that go for a camping trip for a week and when they come back to their places all the dogs and animals are dead and houses are ransacked and basically Australia has been invaded. The lead character shits me to tears but the premise is so interesting I read the 7 books in about a week and a half, then the two books after the initial series.
