You might want to try The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart by Jesse Bullington. It's a medieval history fantasy type of book, and the main characters are unrepentant killers and thieves. I couldn't get past the first few chapters, but judging by the reviews, readers either loved it or loathed it. I'm impressed an editor was brave enough to take a chance on a book like that.
Also, K.J. Parker's books feature some pretty appalling main characters, and I generally enjoy them even while not exactly loving the characters.
