Henry Rios Series

I've been reading a series of mystery novels by writer Michael Nava that revolve around a gay Mexican attorney named Henry Rios. The series started in the mid to late 1980s and the first few books were published by the now defunct publisher Alyson Books that used to publish a lot of LGBT works. Unfortunately, they went under, but it seems Nava was able to get his later works published by bigger-named publishers. I've read three books in the series so far, Goldenboy, The Burning Plain, and The Little Death and, although they've been hit or miss with me personally, I'm glad the series exists because it provides some much-needed gay minority fiction.
