I recently listened to an audio book of a thriller from a fairly mainstream author. This was one of his earlier works from around 2003, when he wasn't as well known as he is now. What surprised in this book, is that while protagonists were very likeable and typical underdogs, in the last chapter of the book they lost. And they lose really badly. The ending of the book is basically the bad guys enjoying the spoils.
