One of his best literary heirs is Sebastian Japrisot. Quite a number of his books have been translated, but I don't see too many in ebook form. This is a big gap, he's a terrific writer.
Simenon is my favourite writer of detective novels, so I'm glad to find out about Japrisot from you. Ha! I see from his Wikipedia page that he translated many Hopalong Cassidy novels. I like him already! I only hope that I can find his crime fiction novels in English.
