Answers:
The novel of:

Kathy Reichs
Tess Gerritsen (not the earliest ones, which are romances)
Robert Crais
Lee Child
Robert B. Parker
John Sandford
Linda Fairstein (!)
Two are my favorite books of all time: The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett and Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.
Both are completely different styles but I have read them both countless times.
"Knight's Gambit" by William Faulkner
