Have you ever read any of Carl Hiaasen's books? Every one has a slightly disfunctional hero, sometimes the same one as in the ex-Governer turned hobo, Skink, sometimes standalone characters for just that novel. Personally I think they're great and certainly not high-brow.
Also worth a look are Christopher Brookmyre's books which feature Jack Parlabane, such as Quite Ugly One Morning and Country of the Blind.
BTW, I also have all the Flashman series and it is probably my favourite series of books ever - I re-read Flashman and the Redskins for about the 10th time just recently.
