Malko dans SAS

I need an equivalent mystery/detective/spy novel hero that will mean something to Anglo-Saxon readers. This is unfortunately a literary genre about which I am totally ignorant. The context is as follows:
Since I was a great fan of detective stories, it was an opportunity for me to slip into the skin of a private detective like Sherlock Holmes or ***Malko dans SAS***.
The narrator is an African teenager, so it would have to be something very widely read and available. This is short fiction by the way.
TIA for any suggestions :-)

Malko, the hero in the spysex SAS series
Let's say an erotic spy thriller
The equivalent would be an espionnage series based on a CIA or M15 agent with a lot or erotic passages...
The SAS series are more like spysex thrillers - like James Bond with semi-porn passages... Geopolitics, CIA and sex.
Forget the Poireau, Mason and other tame characters - or load them with Viagra and naked bimboes...

: How about Modesty Blaise & her side-kick Willy Garvin. They certainly have the thriller aspect, but I really can't think of any well known thriller series in English that has the same level of eroticism as Malko (which I read in German)

Comment: "These books sound awful :-(( but I think James Bond is the best solution. Thanks Inspector Cluseau and everyone else for your input :-) "

Philip Marlowe
I think Chandler's Philip Marlowe is probably the only private detective with a similar international reputation to Sherlock Holmes, and thus credible for a presumably francophone African.

sorry to send you Googles again but there are some good ideas here.
I think Philip Marlowe or Sam Spade might be good options personally .... like Philipe Marlowe in The Big Sleep for example.
