I would like to find a novel that's by a Christian author that:
1) Is not a romance novel or the plot leans heavily on romance. (Not that I'm oppose to it, but I've read my share of this sort of book)
2) Is a crime type book. Like involving Lawyers litigating a case, or Police detective solving crimes. (Mystery and/ or Suspense if you will)
3) has a solid Christian message
That's just one type of book I seldom come across. I have other books I'm interested in.
Hard to Find a book like this, but I'll ask anyways

Sounds like a fun genre you're searching for! I don't have any particular suggestions, but if I come across any I'll post them.
I would say that Ted Dekker writes some good Mystery/Suspense stuff, and he is a favorite Christian author of mine. Dunno if you've read his work, but you might want to check out his books Three or The Bone Collector. Both are pretty fun thrillers. I don't think there was any lawyering, though. https://www.teddekker.com/new-gallery
EDIT: Also The 49th Mystic is listed on that page of thrillers, but I totally disagree and while I enjoyed the book I don't think it fits in that genre. Also if someone was going to read that they should read Black, Red, and White first.

I have found a series that might fit your criteria, which is written by Jerry B. Jenkins, who is a Christian author, (who wrote the Left behind series), which is called Precinct 11 . The title for each book in this triology is
The Brotherhood, The Betrayal,
The Breakthrough. I haven't read it yet, but since it's about a cop I thought it might fit your criteria.
