Apparently, detective novels are universal, whether you call it need, fantasy, or desire. And you must remember that Bolano said he'd rather be a homicide detective than a novelist.
Deleuze wrote an article “The Philosophy of Crime Novels” to praise this publishing event. I believe he'd enjoy Harry Bosch, Matthew Scudder, and Jack Reacher too.
