Any Stories Where the Protagonist Can Catch Ghosts and the Police Ask Him for Help?

Are there any novels where the protagonist is a paper effigy maker, tattooist of the supernatural, Taoist priest, or something along those lines? The specific job doesn't matter. The police hire them as a specialist to help catch ghosts and solve cases. Something like the novel version of the old anime Mr. Zombie?

Corpse drivers, corpse stitchers, paper effigy makers, and human artisans. I don't know the other four crafts.
