Ford's Leo Waterman series is such a great series it deserves to be more widely read. He is especially adept at using Seattle as his backdrop for Leo's investigations.
I wrote the following for another of his books and repeat it here as my feelings haven't changed:
Read these if you are a fan of Sue Grafton (Leo has the smarts and heart of Kinsey Millhone), Janet Evanovich (Leo is not nearly as inept as Stephanie Plum but gets himself in some interesting situations and his "operatives" are very colorful), and Lee Child (Leo is a tough manly man but not at all chauvinistic). Ford also infuses his mysteries with a lot of snort-worthy snark and humor.
This can be read without reading the others but I highly recommend starting with the first, "Who the Hell is Wanda Fuca?" and bingeing on the rest.
