One of the main characteristics is the exploration of the power dynamics within the criminal underworld. It shows how hierarchies are formed, how power is gained and lost among criminals. There's also a focus on the moral ambiguity. In underground crime fiction, the lines between right and wrong are often blurred. For example, a character might be stealing to feed his family, making readers question traditional moral concepts. Moreover, it usually has a fast - paced plot with a lot of twists and turns as the characters try to outwit each other in the dangerous world of crime. This keeps the readers on the edge of their seats.
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.
