You might try Ridley Pearson (sp) or Michael Koryta. And
a new author with just two books out is Tana French.
Another is Karin Slaughter.

Jonathan Kellerman, Faye Kellerman?
I personally like the old JA Jance series featuring JP Beaumont, the
Seattle detective, better than the Joanna Brady ones (the more recent
Joanna Brady ones - the originals were okay - and there is one where
JP is in AZ and they work together).
Earl Emerson - I love his Thomas Black series, also writes a bunch
from the view of a firefighter.
Marcia Muller.
Loren Estelman
Hope you find something!

I just finished "The Girl Who Played With Fire" (Steig Larsson) this
weekend and couldn't put it down!
First read "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" to meet characters. That
one the plot is a little uneven in places (and very convoluted), but
character development is terrific. Then in the second book, the plot
just takes off and runs. "Knowing" the characters from the first book
explains a lot and enhances the reading of the second.
The bad part is, now I have to wait a year for the next one!
