In a Deadly Vein by Brett Halliday

Shayne..........Cognac.......

An after dinner blonde....

     sudden death..............

Mike Shayne is on vacation when he met this gorgeous trick with a head of golden hair that's worth half of Fort Knox. Her old man has found a mine worth the other half. Putting them together, she stacks up as a lucky girl. Then she disappears. With her looks, and her old man's loot, Mike figured she's a diamond studded candidate for the morgue. That makes her his dish. After all, murder and blondes are Shayne's business.

Donna Died Laughing (II) by Carter Brown

Donna Died Laughing
 

Drew Summers had a quiet, uncluttered life as a theatrical producer and he wondered  it to stay that way. Then The Mostest alias Angela Angelic, hit him with a typhoon. Then somebody got murdered and a couple of thugs beat him up. So Drew bought a gun to be ready for the next time. Drew then bought himself a psychiatrist because his personality changes. 

"Yeah ,I'll say! I am the toughest private eye that ever spat in anybody's eye. When I move in they bury 'em standing up!"

His personality changed and changed......

"As secret agent working for Department X, my mission is quite clear, my dear girl! The solving of the murders is incidental to the unmasking of the beautiful Soviet spy, Olga Pulovsky!"

If it was not for one guy, Drew was another and if he was not him, he was somebody else? The murders? Heck! The three of Drew should not have any trouble solving them, should he?
