A good chunk (or maybe all) of Howard Fast's Masao Masuto police procedural mystery series is also free. IMS, this series was originally published under the pen name E. V. Cunningham. I haven't read since DTB days, but they reminded me a bit of John Ball's Virgil Tibbs series, in that the protagonist in each is a minority detective (Asian, in this case) back in the days when it wasn't very unacceptable to be openly racist. Anyway, I remember reading and enjoying a long time ago, and am looking forward to re-reading at some point as I work my way through a few hundred new titles just added to my TBR pile.
