Another one I can definitely recommend is Gideon's Day by John Creasey. It was originally published as Gideon of the Yard, the "Yard" being Scotland Yard of course. I think they changed the name to match the excellent film version (Jack Hawkins played Gideon). It's a pure procedural, with a few exciting twists, but no mystery element.
In fact, Creasey wrote a whole series of Gideon novels, but this is the only one I've read (so far).
