The prolific and perpetually inventive Warren Murphy has produced over one hundred novels in the Destroyer series. E-Reads has fifty of them for sale, and more are on the way. But – Murphy produced another series, Trace, built around the exploits of a dissipated insurance investigator. His assignments always seem to involve people who die not long after an insurance policy has been taken out on them. When Devlin Tracy – “Trace” – is not recovering from drink, gambling, or womanizing, there is no one better at his job. The problem is, he’s always doing one, the other or all three.
E-Reads is reprinting all seven thrillers in the Trace series. In the title novel. Trace’s part-time hooker girlfriend is off on an out-of-town trick, but alimony bills are piling up and his assignment is to find out if an idealistic doctor is dedicated to killing his patients instead of curing them.
The other novels in the series are:
And 47 Miles of Rope
Once a Mutt
Pigs Get Fat
Too Old a Cat
Getting Up With Fleas
When Elephants Forget
Pigs Get Fat won a Mystery Writers of America Edgar award for best paperback original of 1985.
If you want to take a day off from Destroyer, pick up a Trace or two, or seven. They’re all in e-book, and very soon will be in paperback.
