<p>I second the Robert Crais suggestion, Elvis Cole and Joe Pike are the best.</p>
<p>For funny, you might want to try Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, technically she's a bounty hunter, but very funny.</p>
<p>For more hard boiled I'd also recommend Sean Chercover Big City, Bad Blood and Trigger City.</p>
<p>Happy reading.</p>

<p>Dennis Lehane and Declan Hughes come to mind. Tim Hallinan's Junior bender is a PI of sorts--he's a burglar who works "cases" for underworld figures--and his books are quite funny.</p>

<p>Declan Burke's Harry Rigby books might come close to that Irvine Welsh bent. <em>Eightball Boogie</em> and <em>Slaughter's Hound</em>. And, although it's set in the late 60s, Thomas Pynchon's, <em>Inherent Vice</em> came out a couple of years ago.</p>

<p> you know, i would love to read a PI book that's got a Irvine Welsh bent to it. I wish he would write a crime series, lol. </p>

<p>Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder series is fabulous. He's not your usual private detective. Robert Parker's Spenser series is good, a more traditional private detective. Both of these series are very long, with some new (the latest Scudder came out last year.) </p>
