Urban Fantasy is becoming more and more popular here. And it has a 
little bit of everything, all in one package, which makes it an easy 
cross-sell for readers of many different genres: Adventure, Fantasy, 
Horror, Mystery, Romance, etc.

Ilona Andrews offers an excellent introduction to the genre: she's got 
the Kate Daniels series set in an alternate version of our Atlanta, the 
Edge series set in alternate Louisiana Bayou country, Hidden Legacy in 
Austin, and Innkeeper (started as an online serial, now two books 
published and the third currently being created in online installments) 
in Texas Hill country.

There's also Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden (Chicago), Rob Thurman's Cal 
Liandros and Lisa Shearin's SPI Files (NYC) and many more to choose 
from.

HTH,
