You can try all Richard Stark (Donald Westlake) novels. His main character Parker is a professional criminal, and the novels are real hardboiled. Westlake also writes under his real name the Dortmunder series, an humorous version of his Stark work. There's also Kubrick's first (?) movie, I think the english title is The Big Kill ("L'Ultime Razzia" in french), but I'm not sure.
