Have you read any Jim Thompson? He wrote some excellent pulp novels. He was very into intricate plans of the main character completely unraveling. Often involving lots of killing as things just got worse and worse. Pop. 1280 is one of his best. Savage Night is the strangest. (The publisher tried to make him change the ending because they didn't think it made any sense. He said no. So they asked him to explain it. He said no.) He also wrote the book The Getaway. (Which was made into an absolutely horse-shit movie.)
