Elkins' Gideon Oliver books are great - I read all of the series in DTB, and I was lucky enough to pick up e-book versions of several of the later now-agency ones at reasonable prices or good FW discounts in the pre-agency days.
I also like his other two mystery series - the three (?) Chris Norgren ones about an art curator, which remind me of Elizabeth Peters' Vicky Bliss books, and the ones he writes with his wife about an up-and-coming pro lady golfer, Lee Ofsted. The Norgren ones are currently available at FW (discountable - woohoo), as well as BN and Amazon. The Ofsted ones seem to only be at Amazon, but are somewhat reasonably priced there IMO at $3.99.
Elkins was one of the first mystery authors I found whose backlist was re-issued at reasonable prices - $3.99 is about my upper limit for backlist titles I already own in DTB, but he's such a good author, and many are/were at FW and discountable, that I've picked up a lot of them.
He also has a couple of stand-alone titles which are pretty good, and also discountable (at least some of them) at FW.
