Recommended reading - The Zebra-Striped Hearse (1962):
The Zebra-Striped Hearse
By Ross Macdonald.
First published in 1962.
Published by Vintage
Crime / Black Lizard.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0375701451
ISBN-13: 978-0375701450
“Ross Macdonald gives to
the detective story that accent of class that the late Raymond Chandler did.” –
Chicago Tribune.
Strictly speaking, Lew
Archer is only supposed to dig up the dirt on a rich man's suspicious
soon-to-be son-in-law. But in no time at all Ross Macdonald’s private eye is
following a trail of corpses from the citrus belt to Mazatlán. And then there
is the zebra-striped hearse and its crew of beautiful, sunburned surfers, whose
path seems to keep crossing the son-in-law's – and Archer's – in a powerful,
fast-paced novel of murder on the California coast.
“A
model of his excellence…. [The Zebra-Striped Hearse] has character,
statement, and style.” – The New Yorker.

Recommended reading - My Kind of Game, by Marvin Albert (1962):
My Kind of Game
By Marvin Albert.
Published by Fawcett.
First published 1962.
Mass Market Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0449133885
ISBN-13: 978-0449133880
Description:
WANTED – Anyone with information about Louis Kovac may find
it worth-while to get in touch with Anthony Rome at the Seaview Motel. Kovac
met with an accident. His assignment will be completed by Rome.
The ad was Rome’s last hope, a stab-in-the-dark that
someone might spill who had it in for Lou Kovac, and why.
Rome didn’t expect an immediate answer. He wasn’t ready to
get it in his motel room, in person, from a beautiful girl, pointing a very
loaded .32.
A new, trigger-sharp case in the fast, bullet-scarred
career of detective Anthony Rome.
My Kind of Game.
