Honey West
One friend of Jalila would almost certainly be Honey West - the fast-talking, leather-clad private eye invented by GG Fickling - husband-and-wife team - in the 1950s. Honey spawned a first-class TV series starrting Anne Francis in the early 1960s and it is almost certainly time for a Honey movie surely.
Honey was the inspiration for later characters suchg as Emma Peel of the Avengers and Modesty Blaise of the Daily Mail - perhaps even Legs Weaver, the long-running Italian comic book series.

The Honey West novels have just started being reissues - the first two on sale are 'This Girl For Hire' and 'Kiss for a Killer'. They both have great plots, full of intriguing twists and turns and capture the optimistic world of the early 60s with great style and bite. You can order them from your local bookstore or through Amazon.
