I personally find the work of Raymond Chandler to be hard to put down. I recently stayed up all night reading The Big Sleep -- even though I'd read it before.

I second the recommendation of Jim Butcher, too.

But I never could make it off the first page of The DaVinci Code, so perhaps my concept of a "book you can't put down" is different from the OPs. I couldn't put Dan Brown down fast enough!

ETA: If you're offended by violence, you may want to steer clear of Chandler.
