Fair, published during '40s to '60s depicting private invetigators Bertha Cool & Donald Lam, seems perfect to your taste. You may give it a try if not alread read.

I was never really able to get into Earl Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason series. However, that was quite a while ago (perhaps over 30 years ago), and I should probably give him another try.
