Crime Fiction of Olympic Proportions

 

The Dorothy-L list has had a discussion lately about mysteries themed around the Olympics in some way. So far, the following have been mentioned (and I've added a few additional):

Alina Adams and her Figuring Skating Mystery series (On Thin Ice, etc). All titles in this series feature aspects of competitive figure skating leading up to international competitions including the Olympics and Adams's protagonist Rebecca "Bex" Levy, figure skating researcher for the 24/7 skating network.

Lindsey Davis, See Delphi or Die. This is #17 in Davis's ancient Roman historical series featuring "informer" Marcus Didius Falco, in which Falco and family travel to Greece and visit the original olympic sites where two women are murdered.

Jefferey Deaver, Garden of Beasts. Set at the 1936 Berlin Games in which a mob hit man is nabbed in the act in New York City but given an alternative to the electric chair--to go to Berlin undercover as a journalist writing about the upcoming Olympics, in order to assassinate Col. Reinhard Ernst, the chief architect of Hitler's militarization.

Philip Kerr, March Violets (the first of his "Berlin Noir" series). Like Deaver's book, this is also set at the '36 Games, where ex-policeman Bernie Gunther has been hired to look into two murders that reach high into the Nazi Party.

Emma Lathen, Going for the Gold. Takes place at the 1980 Lake Placid Winter Olympics. New York banker John Thatcher is at the Games to keep the firm's dilettante president out of trouble, but gets involved with the murder of a French ski jumper.

Peter Lovesay (writing as Peter Lear), Golden Girl. This standalone novel surrounds a female athlete at the Moscow Olympics who almost appears too good to be true--and probably is (later became a movie).

Peter May, The Runner. Set in the run-up to the Olympics, where it appears someone is bumping off Chinese medal hopefuls.

Manuel Vazquez Montalban, An Olympic Death. Set in Barcelona on the eve of the '92 Olympics.

Robert B. Parker, The Judas Goat. One of the earlier Spenser mysteries, which involves the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics. Spenser's been hired to find the people responsible for killing his client's family in a terrorist attack. The search takes the detective to London, Europe and finally the Olympic Games in Canada.

ALSO:  Charlie Chan movie about the Olympics in 1936, called, unsurprisingly, "Charlie Chan at the Olympics."

Any others anyone out there would like to add?
