Don't you mean Alex Cross in the James Patterson books?
Cotton Malone in the steve berry books
Painter Crowe in the james rollins books
China Bayles in the Susan wittig Albert books
Kinsey Milhone
Stephanie Plum
Goldie the caterer in the Diane Mott Davidson books
Sheriff Joanna Brady-JA Jance books
I'm having a hard time trying to narrow down list, but I will start with in no particular order
Jack Reacher ---- Lee Child's novels
Dirk Pitt ---Clive Cussler's novels
Alex Delaware----James Patterson
Christopher Snow---Dean Koontz
Tomorrow I'm sure my list will be different.
So who am I missing

others on the short list
Mitch Rapp---Vince Flynn Odd Thomas---Dean Koontz
I agree with Christopher Snow - I enjoy his adventures through the night hours.
Odd Thomas leaves me scratching my head. I am reading Odd Hours right now and have found myself saying aloud, "this is boring me", which is highly unusual for a DK book. The other Odd books were all great, so I have no doubt the ending of this one will surprise me.
My favorite characters are from a series by Celeste Deblasis. The Wild Swan trilogy encompasses the full life of Alex Thaine and Raine Falconer, distant cousins (who look like fraternal twins) who share a great love. Alex is 13 when they meet, Raine !8.
And then, there is always the wonderful Kent family from the whole Kent Family Chronicles by John Jakes.
Dirk Pitt, John Keller and Jack Reacher are good picks. I prefer J. A. Jances Seattle detective J. P. Beaumont to Sheriff Brady. Others that I follow are:
Charlie "Bird" Parker....John Connolly (Every Dead Thing is 1st book)
Bob Lee Swagger....Stephen Hunter
Det. Dave Robicheaux....James Lee Burke
Rand, Matt & Perrin in The Wheel of Time series....Robert Jordan
Noah Bishop & Special Crimes Unit (paranormal)....Kay Hooper
Dexter....Jeff Lindsay
Elvis Cole & Joe Pike....Robert Crais
Silent Joe....T. Jefferson Parker
Jesse Stone....Robert B. Parker
Too many books....so little time!
