Via Detectives Beyond Borders comes a link to an article in the UK paper "The Independent" entitled "Crime fiction: Around the world in 80 sleuths."
It's just what it sounds like: detective stories in 80 different international locations. It recommends books set in Scandinavia, Latin America, St. Petersburg (the one with the onion domes) and the Bering Sea among other places. Some I know, most I don't. They've all been translated into English as needed for a broader audience.
If you've tired of American authors and settings, these look to be worthy alternatives.
