You might prefer James Lee Burke (I do!) who writes novels about homicide cop Dave Robicheaux set in New Orleans. The first book in the series is called Neon Rain. The author is a home-run for me, so I encourage you to give him a try (if only so I can find out what you think!)
P.S. One of the reasons I keep my LiveJournal account is to go to bookish and read your reviews.
