A little off the beaten track, but if you like a nice world-weary hard-boiled detective, you might check out the story "Chase" that is included in Strange Highways from Dean Koontz. In his colorful writing career, he created some pretty decent characters. Of course, you'll probably skip over the story "Bruno," about another hard-drinkin' detective who finds a collaboration with a dimension-traveling investigator--who happens to also be a bear, but you shouldn't hold that against him--is a good way to solve certain problems. But if you do skip it, you'll never know just what you are missing.
