    You might consider adding writer Todd Borg. His books feature Owen McKenna, a retired San Francisco cop turned P.I. who lives on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. So far there are 11 books in the series, all well written and filled with suspense.

    The Poker Mystery series by Jackie Chance is set in Las Vegas. (I’m not American, but I believe that’s in Nevada! 🙂 )
