Best mystery books that take place in a different culture setting and authored by someone from that culture

So far I’ve read
-wife of the gods (ghana in Accra - ewe tribe)
- smaller and smaller circles (Philippines in payatas/manila)

I’m talking like Tibetan, tajiks, Ainu, Uyghur, yakut, crow, basque, Kurdish, kashmiri, masaii, tamil, aboriginal, Tuareg, etc etc

Any recsss

I like reading about cultural anthropology but can never finish any nonfiction book on the topic lmao.
