No one asked if he's American, but he is.

John Grisham, maybe?

No, sorry. This man has written far more books than Grisham.

No, think of someone along the lines of Patterson in terms of both volume and best seller list popularity.

Nope, not Clancy. I believe this guy is more prolific.

perhaps one of Lawrence Block's characters, hmmm, which on: Matt Scudder, Chip Harrison, Bernie Rhodenbarr or Keller (are there others?)
OK, a stab "The Burglar in the Closet"?

No, not him. Here's a small clue: the main character in his longest series is a former police detective, now lawyer.

Is it, perhaps, Chiefs?

Ah.....you've got it, Toby! Stuart Woods' first novel, which was made into a successful mini-series in 1983. It's been years since I read it, but I think it's probably a lot better than his Stone Barrington (and several others) series, which are just entertaining fluff.
You're up.

Thanks, jabb. I'll sample some Stuart Woods.
I'm the second novel by a living Englishman.

None of the above.
Not a thriller.
