Philip Kerr's Bernie Gunther stories are a must read.Try to read them in order.Starts before the 2nd WW.Bernie is a Berlin detective.Historical novels.
Stuart McBride is the poor man's Ian Rankin.Great gritty stories,with plenty of black humour.
Martin O'Brien writes good French detective stories based in the South of France.
Martin Walker also writes French detective stories.A bit light weight,however I enjoyed them.
Other authors I have enjoyed are ;William Ryan,David Mark,Michael Russell,Benjamin Black,Lars Kepler, Peter May,Peter Robinson,and Jo Nesbo,although I gave up on his latest, MacBeth, as I found it too depressing..
Might try out Stuart McBride .....sounds interesting
