How about Alex Bledsoe's "Eddie LaCrosse" books? Book five just came out, and the series starts with The Sword-Edged Blonde. The series is very much "low, gritty" fantasy, as opposed to the "epic, high" fantasy that I just can't get into. There's a decent noir/P.I. aspect to it, and it even feels like a Western in some ways.
(Fair disclosure: I've read the first two books, and own but have not started the other three. The third HAS been staring at me for a couple of weeks, though...)
