A Dan Shamble short story seemingly suits the specified subgenre. In
"Role Model: A Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. Adventure" (Anderson) Shamble's
conned (so to speak) into providing CosplayCon security. Soon after
arrival, a supine stormtrooper shows up with a wooden stake protruding
from his chest. And the game's afoot at the Motel Six Feet Under and
Conference Center.

Edgar Allan Poe proffers primordial police procedural, personified by
Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin. Poe's character appears as Science
Fiction's first detective in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," followed
by "The Mystery of Marie Rogêt" and "The Purloined Letter." The last
story pertains to high politics rather than murder.

Doyle follows and characterizes Sherlock Holmes's quirks as a sideshow.
Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot's own oddities also
appear along the way.
