As She Rides by — David M. Pierce

V. (for Vic) Daniel, Los Angeles private investigator, is back - six feet seven inches, wearing loud Hawaiian shirts, and driving a classic pink-and-blue Nash Metropolitan - and he is at the top of his form. Now his precious peace and quiet is threatened by a theatre de porn being built next to his office, something up with which our hero will not put! At the same time he has been hired to protect a burly florist scheduled to testify against some horticultural hoods and check out the background of a seemingly honest record producer.
It's all in a day's work for our private eye. Assembling his team of crack (or cracked) agents to help in his various schemes, V. Daniel uncovers nefarious goings on and defends against attacks on his peace and quiet - all in his inimitable style. Vic Daniel - a classic P.I. for our times.
