There are a few Stuart Kaminsky books up on Kindle. I think a few more at Fictionwise.
I love Kaminsky because he had so many different styles. His Toby Peters mysteries (which are NOT available on Kindle yet) are funny, and often absurd pastiches of 1940's noir. They are about a down-and-out P.I. in Hollywood of the 40's whose cases involve a particular movie star or figure from the period. (Kaminsky was a film historian before he started in on mysteries.)
But his other series run from his great Russian police procedurals, to a clinically depressed process server who moonlights (kind of a very sad Toby Peters, in some ways) to a police procedural featuring an elderly Jewish cop in Chicago. They all have humor and poignance.
