    Huh?

    "In the western world, crime fiction – mystery, thrillers, suspense, whodunnits, etc. – makes up somewhere between 25 and 40 percent of all fiction book sales."

    Famous figures in cop novel fiction include:

    Alex Cross (from author James Patterson, huge best sellers and several Hollywood movies made).

    Harry Bosch (Michael Connelly), over 20 best selling books and a TV series.

    Harry Hole (fictional cop) by Joe Nesbo, "More than 3 million copies of his novels had been sold in Norway as of March 2014; his work has been translated into over 50 languages, and by 2021 had sold some 50 million copies worldwide, making him the most successful Norwegian author of all time" - and a movie made with Fassbender as Hole.

    "In death" series, following policewoman Eve Dallas. dozens of books, estimated hundreds of millions books sold (seems a lot, but it's mentioned here: https://wordsrated.com/nora-roberts-statistics/ huge sales either way, including best-selling Kindle author)

    Jack Reacher by Lee Child (not a street cop, but ex-US Army Military Police investigator), huge sales, several movies.

    and many other series, including hugely popular non-english authors and their star cops like Inspector Salvo Montalbano, Commissioner Erlendur Sveinsson, Inspector Emilio Rico, Commissioner Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg, and at least 2-3 very popular series in every country (translated and sold internationally). Even the Chinese have their star cops (e.g. Chief Inspector Chen Cao).
