There are three series: 5 books about Bernie Rhodenbarr the master burglar, 5 books about Matthew Scudder the alcoholic ex-cop unlicensed detective, and 7 books about Evan Tanner, the Neversleeping spy and lover of lost causes. I've read 5, 3, and 1 of these respectively, and enjoyed them all. He also has a collection of short stories titled _Sometimes They Bite_, which includes some wonderful twist endings, and a Rhodenbarr and Scudder short story (different stories).
