You might try the Maigrat series (by G. Simenon). He tends to be in the same sort of mold as Columbo, once he suspects a particular person, he manipulates circumstances until that person gives themselves away.
The Hound of the Baskervilles
-review
Here is the review of "The Hound of the Baskervilles "..The Baskerville family is haunted by a phantom beast, which roams the moors around the isolated Baskerville Hall on Dartmoor. Now the hound seems to be stalking young Sir Henry, the new master of the Baskerville estate. Is this devilish spectre the manifestation of the family curse? Or is Sir Henry the victim of a vile and scheming murderer?so its a good suspense.try reading that.

You might want to try the rest of Donald Westlake's stuff as well, if you like his R. Stark books - the Dortmunder series (under his own name): comic burglar novels. Or, at the opposite, rather more serious end of the spectrum, the private dick stories he wrote as Tucker Coe.
Incidentially, Westlake wrote one of my very favorite comic sort-of-crime novels: Adios Shererazade, about a porn writer with writer's block.
Have you seen the Boorman picture Point Blank? One of the very rare instances, in my opinion, of a film better than the book it is based on (the first Parker novel). Not to everybody's taste, though.
