Sure. 'The Godfather' by Mario Puzo is a great one. It delves deep into the criminal underworld of the Mafia, showing family, power, and loyalty within that dark world. Another is 'American Psycho' by Bret Easton Ellis which gives a disturbing look at a serial killer in the corporate world which can be considered as a form of underground crime. Also, 'Trainspotting' by Irvine Welsh explores the seedy underbelly of drug - addled lives in Scotland.

Well, 'The Wire' related novels can be counted as underground crime fiction. They show the complex web of crime, law enforcement, and the society on the streets. 'Sin City' is also a notable one. It presents a noir - like view of a city filled with all kinds of criminal activities, from murder to corruption. And then there's 'True Detective' - inspired works that often deal with the hidden and dark aspects of crime.
