I forgot an earlier work of his: FINDER which is set in Teri
Windling's Nevernever universe, about a guy with a psychic
power to find lost things in a borderland between the land of
Faery and the Realm of Men. Sometimes the lost things don't
want to be found and the feel of this particular book in the
series is definitely bleak PI stuff.
And Simon Green's Nightside books are kind of in a similar
vein, but considerably more hardboiled than most--about an
investigator who works in the the "square mile of Hell" in an
occult-ridden London.

I think I've missed those altogether, or read them so long
ago I've forgotten--as you can see, I have a bit of a Swiss
cheese memory.... ;)
