Looking for some suggestions. I currently enjoy the books of John Grisham and michael connelly. I am looking for sugestions that other people have on good authors that write investigative, law or mystery books. Nothing I hate more than buying a book and getting half way through it and not really enjoying it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Just reading through Dan Simmons Hyperion Cantos (4 books) a second time ... it's been awhile ...

"On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all. On the eve of Armageddon ... "

A series best read slowly with reflection/analysis now and then, and appreciated, as I'm finding with most if not all the stuff I read years ago just to pass the time in airports and so on ...

Fwiw I use Calibre on my laptop and find books on the internet ... the tiny paperback font is just not doable for me these days.
