I haven't seen Tony Hillerman mentioned yet. He wrote an 18 book series featuring Navajo Tribal Police detectives Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee available as ebooks.
It's been awhile but I recall reading that his primary objective was to write about the culture of the Native Americans living in the four corners area of the western USA. This is where the states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada all meet. He taught journalism from 1966 to 1987 at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and seemed to both understand and admire these people.
The mysteries were all right but I most enjoyed learning about that culture.
