Good British Police Procedural

Graham Hurley is a new find. His series (6 books to date) features DI Joe Farraday. The stories are complex, the characters are well-drawn, and the location, Portsmouth, is a bit different than the bucholic Yorkshire or gritty London, the scenes of many procedurals. Hurley's books can be favorably compared with those of Stuart Pawson, John Harvey, Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, Mark Billingham, and Peter Robinson. I read the series in order of publication, but I believe that they each stand well on their own.
