a few levels in Bard may help too. High Charisma to help pull of a scam, good skills, and Bardic Knowledge can help you know if there are any criminals out there you need to send in. Rogue levels can be helpful too.
The Ranger as... Urban Thug?

I play such a PC in a campaign right now. Me and the DM worked up an "urban ranger" named the City Hunter. It gave up spellcasting ability for a +2 bonus in Spot and Sense Motive. Since I am taking mostly rogue levels for Sneak Attack, this works well, though a PC taking mostly City Hunter class levels should probably receive higher Spot and Sense Motive bonuses at higher levels, to balance out with the complete loss of spell ability.
Basically, a ranger in the city would be good at spotting people out of a crowd and telling when people were on the up-and-up, but wouldn't really have any woodsy spells.
"Urban Lore" swapped for Wilderness Lore, and Track usable to follow a lead through the city, locate a gang's hideout, etc, using Urban Lore (as regular Track uses WL.)
