I know Mark, Bill and others may have good suggestions for
you. I've never found much on-line about Thomas, but here are
links to the article
"Remembering Ross Thomas" by Tony Hiss and some comment and
reviews from mostlyfiction.com:

McCorkle and Padillo also appear in THE BACKUP MEN and
TWILIGHT AT MAC'S PLACE. Thomas won the Edgar for COLD WAR
SWAP and for BRIARPATCH.
You might try THE MONEY HARVEST, which is set in D.C.
