If you can read French, there is an omnibus of 28 Nestor Burma mysteries by Leo Malet. The book is Tout Burma, l'intégrale des 28 romans, and it's published by Univers Poche. ISBN is 9782823806489.

It's available on Kobo US for the Prix Choc of $67.99. It doesn't seem to be couponable in the US, and I've been super busy and haven't had time to travel recently, so not sure about elsewhere.

Retrouvez pour la première fois réunies en un seul volume, l'intégralité des aventures du célèbre détective créé par Léo Malet et incarné par Guy Marchand. Un événement !
A few of the Nestor Burma books were translated into English and published in the US as DTB many years ago. I read several at that time and liked them, although I'm a huge mystery lover and a huge Francophile, so I was predisposed to like them.

I'm currently slogging my way through book 6 of Harry Potter in French, trying to keep up my French (reading, at least). Once I get through with book 7 of Harry Potter, I may have to try this omnibus, although 28 novels in French would keep me busy pretty much forever.
