Ross Thomas. He's been dead for about a decade, but he wrote some of the best mystery/caper novels around. It's interesting how some of his stuff is being resurrected. I'm thinking that, fifty years from now, he'll be considered a major writer in the genre.
Some titles to consider: Chinaman's Chance, Out on the Rim, and Twilight at Mac's Place.
All of books by Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh. I know these books were written in the 30s and 40s, but there is a reason they are re-released every few years. They are terrific.
John Sanford's Prey series
J.d. Robb's Death series. J.D. Robb is also Nora Roberts.
Jeffery Dever the Lincoln Rhyme series
For "lite" mysteries I enjoy the Father Blackie books by Andrew Greeley
Some lesser known mystery writers, but excellent IMO:
Julie Smith - New Orleans/Louisiana setting
David Fulmer - turn of the century New Orleans setting
Peter Abrahams - crime fiction/suspense (my favorite: End of Story)
Lisa Unger - psychological suspense/crime thriller (Blackout)
have you read books by tami hoag, or by david baldacci-the collector the camel club
and this I now have stone cold which goes into this series. i like michael crichton also.
michael palmer, and james patterson.
steve berry has some good ones. also, I just read a book by Brad Thor. be sure to start with the first in the series! I also like JA Jance. she has a number of different series with different characters.

I love Ruth Rendell. Her dark psychological themes and writing are exquisite.
