Keep It Up, Rod by Troy Conway

Was Counter-spy 

Rod Damon, The Coxman, 

big enough to compete with the Abominable snowman?

Coxman #8

The Coxman makes it on the back of a yak

into the dangerous interior of Red held Tibet to help a band of rebels overthrow their Chinese masters. Terrorizing the country is the Abominable Snowman. It is a monster the Reds use to frighten the natives into obedience? Rod thinks so and has to prove it. Somehow Rod must find this creature, expose it as a hoax and destroy it. But first he has to win the natives' confidence. He does it by teaching them his exotic Western sex techniques and by rescuing their most beautiful girls from slavery to a stag film producer. Is this a way to run an intelligence operation? You're damn right it is, if your the Coxman!

Every time special agent Erikson had a job too dirty and dangerous for one of Uncle Sam's bona fide undercover men, he just naturally thought of Drake. Drake couldn't afford to say no to Uncle Sam. His past was all to present, in Erikson's files. This time though, Drake almost did say no. Because Uncle Sam wanted Hazel, too. And Drake preferred his women alive.
