+1 for Reacher and Cole/Pike. Very different writing styles by the respective authors, but each with great merit.
I have not tried Patricia Highsmith as yet. But I will...
Though his writing is quite leisurely, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes still has great mystique. The Blue Carbuncle was a highlight of the shorter pieces.
For sheer mood, Charlie Parker from John Connolly is hard to beat, though I am glad my life is dissimilar to his. <smile>
