I want to suggest any of Philip Kerr's noirish crime novels set in Berlin during the 1930s and mid-20th Century as well as Alan Furst's espionage books set in the same period. Furst has a great eye for detail but not as much plot movement as Kerr.
This begs the question, though -- is something set less than 100 years ago still considered historical fiction to most? I say, if it captures a period, why not?
