This is a great topic. Here's a few that I can think of off
the top of my head.
Connelly has done this wonderfully multiple times, the
standout being when the Terry McCaleb is investigated Bosch
as a suspect in A Darkness More Than Night. I believe
recalling that a distant relative of Bosch is the Lincoln
Lawyer.
In my opinion, Pelacanos has created such a vivid and real
version of DC, that he can have characters from various
series pop in and out without it feeling like a gimmick.
Stefanos, in particular, is all over the place in the books
that followed his series, but it always feels natural.
I have a vague memory of Jesse Stone turning up in a Spenser
book.
(Yes, I still read them. Sue me). This was nicely done as
well, because it was just enough of a wink without being
overbearing.
A version of Brant turned up in one of Bruen's Jack Taylor
novels under a different name, but I was too dim to recognize
him until it was point out on this list.
What am I missing? Fred Otash turns up in both the L.A.
Quartet and American Tabloid, but he was a real guy, so I
don't think that counts.
