Adrian Monk, from the show "monk"
He's got crippling ocd and has trouble with many everyday things, including leaving the house. But his attention to detail serves him well as a detective.
Watched it by accident a few years ago, good show.

Technically, he was a lawyer (bit Ironside really) but then Jessica Fletcher was really a writer who supposedly just did a bit of sleuthing on the side.
And Quincy was a pathologist so it's a broad church. |
