Someone recommend Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden stories: http://www.wizardsharry.com/dresden2.html

Look! It's Maurice Saldini written by someone else. Lackadaisical loquaitious Humour, hard bitten detective, supernatural -- even having the detective's four line newspaper advert on the first page -- it looks to fit in a nice triangle formed between, say, Umberto Eco, Amulet of Sammarkand, Anita Blake, Josephine Tey, etc.
