Maybe Digger and Trace aren't hardboiled enough for the list.
Both Digger and Trace are pretty much the same guy, and I
think the books in both series (or maybe it's the same
series) are very funny. For that matter The Destroyer books
are often hilarious. The cop series that Murphy did for
Pinnacle is a lot gritter than either of the other series,
and worth looking for.
