A couple of others that come to mind:
Jeffrey Deaver: In his standalone "The Devil's Teardrop",
Lincoln Rhyme, his main series protagonist, makes a

Robert Crais: The protagonist of his "Demolition Angel",
whose name escapes me right now, appears in one of his Elvis

Older: Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective met Collin Wilcox's
Lt. Stanley Hastings
Richard Prather's Shell Scott met Stephen Marlowe's Chester
Drum
