The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything, by John D MacDonald.
I picked Fawcett gold medal original cheap, thinking it was a typical early MacDonald hard-boiled crime novel. Imagine my surprise to find that it is a comic crime novel with an sf twist.
Damn good fun and I'm glad I got it.
(I see from Dr Wikipedia that it is one of just 3 sf novels written by MacDonald, although I knew he did write many sf short stories in the 40s and 50s. Now I guess I'll have to hunt down the other two novels.)
