I see Robert Crais has already been mentioned. I like his Joe Pike character/series.
I really liked Put a Lid on It by Donald Westlake. His series involves THIEVES not detectives, but Put a Lid on It has a reluctant detective of sorts. It has a lot of humor and is quite a fun adventure.
If you want to try dry wit/cozy Sherban Young has some decent stories.
J.R. Levitt (out of print) writes some VERY good mysteries if you can find them.
Is Frederick Forsyth American? I don't know, but would recommend his books. He's more an assassin/problem solver but good thrillers.
