i love the garrett books (they're all in paperback in my bookshelves), and it's worth mentioning that these are fantasy/detective. i especially love the first few.

if you don't mind hardboiled but more modern detectives, you might wanna try some spenser novels by robert b. parker - some are in ebook format, btw, and mr. parker also wrote the last phillip marlowe novel, although i wasn't in love with it. and maybe the elvis cole novels by robert crais, although the're a little spenser-esque.

also don't forget dorothy l. sayers peter wimsey novels (one is on gutenberg, although not one of my favorites) and for those who love agatha, have you tried ngaio marsh who - alas - is only available on paper.

Garret is a private hard boiled detective ala Phill Marlowe.

Please see the description on Wikipedia from the link above.
