Have you read Léo Malet [1]? His Nestor Burma novels, set around WW2, are great. Dark and somewhat cynical, they go deep into pre- and post-war France. "120 Rue de la Gare" is one of my favourites. The great illustrator Jacques Tardi has also adapted many of his novels. The adaptations are great, with Tardi's famous expressionist style bringing something completely new to the stories.
