SignWave by Andrew Vachss
Andrew Vachss wrote novels about seriously violent people doing seriously violent things. Usually the people who die are at least marginally worse than the people doing the violence. I wouldn't say the main character of *SignWave* exactly good, but he has his rules and he lives by them--and by the end he seems very much as though he's who he feels he should be, maybe taking some last step out of darkness. There's a strong whiff of noir here. I should probably read more Vachss.
