* In the second ''Literature/CircleOfMagic'' book, the pirate queen Pauha and her chief mage Enahar are sister and brother.
* Martina Cole's duology ''Dangerous Lady'' and ''Maura's Game'' feature a whole family of criminals...[[spoiler: and the leader, and brains of the outfit, is the youngest sibling and only daughter.]]
* ''Literature/TheHanSoloAdventures:''
** ''Han Solo at Star's End'' features a sympathetic version, with two brothers who work for Doc Vandergate's outfit of outlaw technicians.
** [[TheGunslinger Gallandro's]] employers in ''Han Solo and the Lost Legacy,'' are a pair of murderous twins who run a mining camp.
* Dave and Banjo Lilywhite in ''Literature/{{Hogfather}}'' try to rob the Tooth Fairy together.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
** The Carrows, brother and sister, are nasty Death Eaters (Amycus being one of two known female Death Eaters, in fact).
** The only other known female Death Eater is Bellatrix Lestrange. Her sister, although not actually a Death Eater, is married to one and supports the Death Eaters [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes as long as her husband and son aren't threatened]].
** Bellatrix's husband, Rudolphus, and his brother Rabastan are both Death Eaters.
* The fourth ''Literature/KittyNorville'' book contains a very nasty case of this. The sister is[[spoiler: a skinwalker, a practitioner of one of the evilest kinds of magic. She killed one of her sisters to get the power. Her twin brother is a werewolf; she became a skinwalker essentially to keep him company when he turned wolf, with none of the drawbacks of lycanthropy.]] Both are murderous and out of control.
* Creator/LouisLAmour: It would be easier to list the number of L'Amour books and short stories which ''don't'' have villainous brothers (and the occasional sister) working together. Normally they only serve as {{Mook}}s, but the BigBad and TheDragon of ''Passing Through'' are brothers. Normally they are closely knit and the death of one will provoke attempts at revenge (or, in rarer cases, a HeelRealization or KnowWhenToFoldEm desire). One notable exception is embodied by Ike and Purdy Mantle in ''The Quick and the Dead.'' They work together but Ike openly acknowledges they have little in common and [[spoiler:doesn't protest when their last fellow gang member kills Purdy for trying to quit. He comments that it will feel odd going on without Purdy after all the years they spent riding together, but he shows no real sadness or anger and loyally aids his brother's killer for the rest of the book.]]
* The two Crane brothers control the black inmates of the prison in ''Literature/TheMentalState'' like mafia. Little Mickey serves as the brains and Big Billy takes on the role of the muscle.
* ''[[Creator/TimDorsey Serge A. Storms]]''
** The [=McGraw=] Brothers from ''Triggerfish Twist'' are a group of dangerous rednecks with long rap sheets. A carjacking victim killing one of the brothers in self-defense in ''Triggerfish Twist'' sets the rest of the family on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge that doesn't go as planned.
** In ''The Big Bamboo'', [[spoiler:Serge joins his newly discovered half-brother Ford in a scheme to con two corrupt movie producers and then engineer their deaths.]]
** In ''Gator-a-Go'', TheQueenpin known as ''Madre'' once ran her cartel along with her two older brothers before the informant she spends the book chasing mucked things up a few years before the story. Specifically, [[spoiler:when a DirtyCop told ''Madre'' that one of her brothers passed on information to the authorities but she didn't know which, she cheerfully ordered the murders of both of her brothers to make sure she punished the right one.]]
** There are a few sets of brothers in the SmallTownTyrant clan from ''Coconut Cowboy''. Said clan runs speed traps, illegally pumps more water than allowed by law, engages in voter fraud, moves money around for a drug dealer, and kills a few people.

Most of them aren't actually evil, and eleven of them go to prison in the end while the last one [[spoiler:died]], but seven of them rehabilitate and four of them prefer to stay in prison.
