If you can find a copy, I highly recommend Stephen Gallagher's Valley of
Lights. It starts as a police procedural and veers into horror in a very
Lovecraftian fashion. By this I mean the protagonist doesn't stumble on the
Necronomicon or the Portal to the Dimension of Evil Tentacles, but rather
encounters an ancient, and admirably conceived, non-human menace.
Very well wrought novel with an extraordinarily satisfying conclusion.

If it hasn't already been mentioned, try Les Whitten's Progeny of the Adder,
which starts out being a straightforward urban police procedural, and turns into
something very different.
