REX Stout series... note Random House has these locked up...
there are no downloads on the internet except for Kindle and
they are all 7 to 8 bucks each  (the paper copies are cheaper).
 
Start with Fer-de-Lance  at 7 bucks... it was the very first Nero Wolfe
and is quite good.
then two of the best are
In the Best Families and League of Frightened Men.
 
With some of these you can buy collections for only a penny!</p>
