Robert J. Ray, author of The Weekend Novelist, apparently also wrote a series of detective novels. Most of them are out of print, but the WPL has two of them in its collection.
Unfortunately for Ray, his main character, Matt Murdock shares a name with the main character of Marvel Comics' Daredevil series. So you may have trouble finding him on the Web.
