How about a mystery book? You can get him a classic mystery novel like Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" or a more modern thriller like Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl". If he already has a collection of mystery books, you could surprise him by signing him up for a monthly mystery book club subscription.
Additionally, you could also consider getting an escape room game kit or a board game like Clue that would allow him to solve mysteries with his friends or family at home.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
