I am currently reading "Guilty Bystander" by W Miller. I
think you are right it is the first Max Thursday book.
Haven't read anything else by WM so cannot compare. Doesn't
feel particularly dark though (not more than expected). Have
read about half by now, so far a solid read, intelligent
writing, but don't know what kind of twists are waiting. But
seems to be a book I will be quite satisfied with when
finished.
