1. The Godfatherby Mario Puzo
马里奥·普佐的《教父》
An obvious choice, perhaps, but a reflection of how seminal it is to the genre. Francis Ford Coppola’s film adaptation is regarded as one of the greatest of all time, but the book is a classic in its own right. It introduced terms like Cosa Nostra3 and omertà to a mass audience and defined the public perception of mobsters for decades to come.
也许各位都会选这本书 。这也反映出它对这类小说影响深远 。弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉据其改编的电影可视作史上最优秀的作品之一 。而这本书本身也堪称经典 。它向超多访客介绍了Cosa Nostra（美国黑手党）和omertà（缄默法则）等黑帮用语 。并且在下一步的数十年内界定了公众对黑帮人物的认知 。
2. Wiseguyby Nicholas Pileggi
尼古拉斯·皮莱吉的《盗亦有道》
Adapted by Martin Scorsese as the film Goodfellas, Pileggi’s account of the life of mobster Henry Hill was the starting point for the modern-day depiction of the gangster. The book set the template for all that followed – from CasinoandDonnie Brascoright through toThe Sopranos.
【好看的黑道小说有哪些 经典好看的黑道言情文2011】皮莱吉的这本书讲述了黑帮人物亨利·希尔的一生 。后经马丁·斯科塞斯改编成电影《好家伙》 。该书是现代描述黑帮作品的起点 。从《赌城风云》和《忠奸人》一直到《黑道家族》 。后来的此类作品均以该书为典范 。
3. American Tabloidby James Ellroy
詹姆斯·艾尔罗伊的《美国小报》
Ellroy dedicates his masterpiece to “bad men, and the price they paid to secretly define their time”. Covering the period from JFK’s4 election to his assassination, Ellroy takes us into the world of thugs, fixers5 and killers on the fringes of power. It still amazes me that in 600 pages, the closest thing to a hero6 is a hitman who by his own reckoning has killed more than 500 people. It was accused of glorifying criminals, but I prefer Ellroy’s own explanation: this is a story of three men crushed by the weight of their own evil.
艾尔罗伊将这部杰作献给“坏人 。还有他们为默默塑造自己的时代而付出的代价” 。故事发生在从约翰·F. 肯尼迪当选总统到遇刺身亡的这段期间 。作者将咱们带入暴徒、毒品贩子和杀手的世界 。将咱们带到了权力的边缘 。至今仍让我惊叹不已的是 。600页的故事里 。唯一跟英雄沾边儿的人物是一个据自己估算刺杀了500多人的雇佣杀手 。有人曾指着责怪这本书在为犯罪分子唱赞歌 。但我更赞同艾尔罗伊自己的解释：这本书讲述的是三个男人被自己沉重的罪恶压垮的故事 。
4. The Power of the Dogby Don Winslow
唐·温斯洛的《犬之力》
Winslow’s novel chronicles the first 30 years of the US’s “war on drugs”. Epic in every sense, the book lays bare the violence, futility and hypocrisy of the policy, and is made all the more striking by its grounding in true events. But this is much more than a fictional exposé of recent history; as in The Godfather, it’s the personal relationships that drive the narrative as the friendship between DEA7 agent Art Keller and narco kingpin Miguel Angel Barrera disintegrates into a blood feud.
温斯洛的这部小说按期间顺序讲述了美国“禁毒之战”前30年的征程 。从各个层面来讲 。它都是一部史诗级作品 。揭开了禁毒政策充满暴力同一时间又徒劳无果且虚伪的一面 。小说基于真实事件写成 。因而更加令人瞩目 。但是 。这本书远不止是以小说的形式披露那一段历史；与小说《教父》一样 。本书故事进展也由人物之间的关系推动 。美国缉毒局特工阿特·凯勒和毒枭米格尔·安赫尔·巴雷拉之间的友情逐渐瓦解 。演变成一场血腥纷争 。
5. LA Confidentialby James Ellroy
詹姆斯·艾尔罗伊的《洛城机密》
For my money8, Ellroy’s five-book run from The Big Nowhereto The Cold Six Thousandis as b as any crime author has put together.LA Confidentialfocuses on the LA mob scene after Siegel9, but takes in LAPD corruption, institutional racism, high-class prostitution and more. Sprawling and complex, yet exquisitely plotted, it’s the pathos Ellroy imbues in his tough guys that sets this apart. That and the fact that it features the villainous Dudley Smith at his absolute zenith.
