Detective Fiction

Besides Sherlock Holmes what are some good detective stories?

There's the New York Trilogy... which is less detective fiction and more "detective fiction". It's... well, it's about detectives, certainly. It's very postmodern, though. I ended up returning it.

I really liked Paul Auster's New York Trilogy.

George Simenon - The Maigret Novels. Maigret in New York is a good one.

Leo Malet - The Nestor Burma Novels. I read The Rats of Montsouris.

Jerome Charyn - The Isaac Quadrilogy.

Dashielle Hammett - The Maltese Falcon.

Raymond Chandler - The Big Sleep

Jean Claude Izzo - The Marseilles Trilogy

Michael Chabon - The Final Solution

Jonathan Latimer - The Lady in the Morgue

Jim Thompson - Pop. 1280. Bertrand Tavernier adapted it into the awesome French film Coup de Torchon.

James Lee Burke - The Dave Robicheaux Novels. Check out In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead. They recently made a movie based on it with Tommy Lee Jones. Bertrand Tavernier directed it.

And it can't be a detective list without Agatha Christie's Poirot.

And if you're into hardboiled stuff, check out anything published under the Hard Case Crime imprint.

I just have to ask...
Are Leo Malet's books only in French? Because I'm having a fucking hard time finding some in English.

Jonathan Lethem - Gun, with Occasional Music
