Bishop (surname, I forget his first name) is the head of a team of investigators who all have different kinds of paranormal talents which they use in solving crimes.
Good reads for people who are open minded on the subject, but not for skeptics.
My 3 favorite detective series have all run dry due to age and retirement of the authors or, in one case, his death. They are Sara Paretsky's series with private detective V. I. Warshawski; Faye Kellerman's Decker/Lazarus series; and Tony Hellerman's Detective Leaphorn/Sergeant Chee series. Kellerman announced that her last book was THE last one, at least for the Decker/Lazarus series. Paretsky was not writing for a while after her husband's death, but now has another Warshawski book coming out. Tony Hillerman's daughter took up where her father left off for about 4 or 5 books, but I haven't seen any more coming out by her.
Each one of those authors has an ethnic setting or background for their detectives. Peter Decker is a Jewish detective on the LA city police department (and later moved to upstate NY). He's married to an Orthodox Jewish woman, Rina Lazarus. Their family life is prominent in the stories, following their children as they mature, marry, and have their own families. In the last book, Decker retires and they move to Israel.
The Hellerman books take place on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico and Arizona.
Paretsky's detective Warshawski is the daughter of a Catholic Polish father who was a cop and a Jewish Italian mother. She lives and works in Chicago.
I feel like I've lost family and friends with the end of those series and have not found replacements.
