detective books and characters drug addicts

[logoryuvdrjvd0]

I read the book Lontano (2015) by Jean-Christophe Grangé and I liked the mix of detective and the fact that the main character is an addict. For me, this is my favorite genre of books. (Detective and biography).I would like to find something similar.
Specifically, a detective book where the main character is an addict.

In the Harry Hole series of books by Jo Nesbo Harry is an alcoholic.

There's a fairly commonly held theory that Sherlock Holmes is addicted to cocaine in Arthur Conan Doyle's series, but it doesn't form a big part of the books. Excellent detective stories though

Thank you, but after reading his book thirsty, read the whole series discouraged.

Oh there definitely are! Look at the beginning of The Sign of Four. Watson asks him which he has taken today,  morphine or cocaine. Sherlock explains a couple of times that he feels he has to keep his brain stimulated with something when he isn't solving a case.
