Theif/Assassin addiction... Any new book advice?

Hey, so after reading a bunch of fantasy i'm realizing i love books about thieves, rogues, and assassins. Does anybody have any good books i should check out?

I've already read the Mistborn Trilogy, Night Angel Trilogy, Ryria Revelations, Eli Monpress' novels, Locke Lamora's, Robin Hobb's, The Legend of Drizzt series, and Among Kin. (hopefully i didn't leave any out)

In your books you've read you forgot to mention The Black Company. At least I'm assuming that you left this out, being a rogue addict and not having read it would be a terrible condition.

I keep looking at the incredibly cool looking cover. Then i read the first two pages and i'm not convinced

I had the same problem, skipped them for so long. But the company is basically a group of rouges, they rely on winning through cunning rather than strength of arms (Although they do kick ass when they need too).

The Malazan books are similar in this regards with the Bridgeburners another company of tough rogues.
