Some books in the
The Kyoichiro Kaga series by Keigo Higashino are $3 each in the US (
Kobo,
Amazon)
Note that 4 books are available in English translation, but they aren't in direct sequence of the originals.
The translated novels are #4, #8, #9, #10.
Reviews suggest you don't have to start with the first English-translated book, which isn't on sale.
These were on my radar thanks to critic and author
Gautam Bhatia, who has this to say about one the discounted novels:

A Death in Tokyo is the latest translation of Higashino’s work, and it has all the hallmarks that make his crime fiction so compelling: a focus on human psychology, tragic choices, and of course, the slowwww unraveling. This one is slightly different from his other work in that it is a genuine whodunit - the reveal comes as an actual surprise - but that only adds to the suspense. And as with other Higashinos, there are moments that move you to tears - something rare with hard-nosed crime fiction such as this.
