Randall Garrett published a great science-fiction set of science-fantasy detective works centering on Lord Darcy. Here's the description of them from The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction:
"His most impressive solo work is the Lord Darcy series of SCIENCE-FANTASY detective stories first published in various magazines (chiefly ANALOG) and anthologies from 1964 to 1979, and assembled in Too Many Magicians (August-November 1966 ANALOG; 1967), Murder and Magic (coll of linked stories 1979) and Lord Darcy Investigates (coll of linked stories 1981), with all three volumes assembled as Lord Darcy: A 3-in-1 Volume (omni 1983). The stories deal with the exploits of the detective Lord Darcy and his Watsonesque "forensic sorcerer" (> SHERLOCK HOLMES) in an ALTERNATE COSMOS where MAGIC, intermittently though not wholly consistently rationalized in terms of PSI POWERS, works according to Frazerian laws whose implications are being gradually unravelled by the scientific method. Several of these stories allude playfully to classic crime fiction by Agatha CHRISTIE, Dorothy L Sayers (1893-1957), Rex STOUT and others. The series as a whole is well remembered and received a retrospective SIDEWISE AWARD in 1999; earlier, it had been continued in SHARECROP novels by Michael KURLAND."
