Teresa Solana's two protagonists (they're a PI team) are brothers. Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller are half-brothers. And there are lots of brothers who figure into crime fiction in other ways, too (i.e. they're not sleuths).
Hap always calls Leonard his "brother" or "brother from another mother."
Then there were the MAVERICK brothers.
Um, can't think of anything offhand. Maybe after coffee.
Oh, Maverick, yes. Margot can always come up with an answer. She's so knowledgeable.
Good one, Margot. I forgot that Connelly connection.
I remember these characters from Breaking Bad. great bad guys
