In no particular order … "Dirty" Harry Callahan Inspector Jacques Clouseau Shaft Inspector Gadget Nancy Drew Dirk Gently Yoon San (The Vampire Detective) Rick Deckard Dick Tracy … simply because these ones give lots of opportunities for dynamic scenarios on the table. I enjoy a lot of other detective stories, but they would be best (IMHO) for RPGs, LARP, and puzzle-style board games. Not to say minis don't work well with those type of games, too.

Someone makes a not Dirty Harry, and a Shaft as well, I believe.

Why is Nancy Drew so much more popular than the Hardy Boys? Just asking. Also, I'm all in favor of Marcus Didius Falco, but you'd need a whole mess of Roman civilians. All I have are legionaries and a few gladiators. Alba and Helena though, for sure. Plus Jim Chee, and Lt. Leaphorn from Hillerman's Tribal Police series.
