Dragon Hunt, by Dave J. Garrity (Signet, 1967). “[D]espite much cover-blurb ballyhoo,” writes Joe Kenney in his blog, Glorious Trash, this “actually turned out to be the sole appearance of private detective Peter Braid. Very, very much in the [Mickey] Spillane mold, Dragon Hunt is such a Mike Hammer riff that it not only carries a cover blurb from Spillane himself, but it’s also based on a story Spillane wrote for the short-lived 1954 From the Files of ... Mike Hammer newspaper comic strip.”
