George,
Benjamin Schutz did the alternating chapters of first person
by his PI hero, Leo Haggerty, with third person about other
involved characters in his 1985 first novel, Embrace the
Wolf.
Although I can't think of anyone earlier, I don't think this
was the first use of this device, though. I don't remember it
striking me as groundbreaking at the time.
