There's a fantastic dystopian novel called 'The Tomorrow File' by Lawrence Saunders. I've never seen it hyped anywhere. I'm pretty sure it's because the author wasn't part of the right clique.

Reviews and blurbs are mostly a game.

Lawrence Sanders, who wrote the Deadly Sin series, the Delaney series, and the McNally series? He was a hugely popular mass-market author throughout the 70s - 90s.

Some ghost is keeping the McNally books going, which is funny because I never like those books when the Master wrote them.

Another unexpected gem from him is 'The Loves Of Harry Dancer.' I will avoid any spoilers, and just suggest that you check it out. It starts like a typical crime thriller, then makes a sharp turn into the weird.
