I'll put Joe Abercrombie on my list then
Was it him that did the Books of The Law?
Also, The Lies of Locke Lamora and the follow up by Scott Lynch were superb, very much in the same vein.

t'is indeed
Yep read them as well, not too bad at all. the last one is lurking on my amazon wish list at the moment, although think it clashes with the new Iain M Banks release so might have to wait.

Robert V.S. Reddick may be worth a punt as well, slightly more traditional but is a fairly good romp

Hahaha, romp.
Are you a sub-editor for the Sun?
Love it when they refer to sex as a romp. Surely noone has romped since 1826!
