Reichs was my Anthropology teacher in University. Nice lady, but I can't get into her books.
Deaver wasn't bad - something with a darker edge is Preston and Child's work involving Agent Pendergast. Relic, Still Life With Crows, etc - as much horror as detective novel, however.
Also, anything by Martin Cruz Smith and his Arkady Renko character, Gorky Park, Polar Star, Havanna - all gold. Renko is about the best fictional detective I ever read.
