A Gun for Honey was published 1958. Busty hardboiled girl PI Honey West (who packs a rod and never wears a bra) is after a psycho who kisses girls to death. The mystery plot is solid. Sleazy, perverse, trashy, amusing, entertaining, delightful.

Dell Holland's The Far Out Ones, published 1963, combines sleaze and beatniks although beatniks play a rather small role. it's genuinely amusing, pleasingly crazy and frenetic, and very sleazy. A cheerfully amoral good-natured feel-good story.

A Diet of Treacle (AKA Pads Are for Passion) by Lawrence Block writing as Sheldon Lord was marketed as sleaze but is really beatnik noir. A very dark look at beatnik subculture, with three beatnik losers on the run. Offbeat but intriguing.
