The Trace series rarely was about the mystery, really the going out to investigate was just an excuse to spend time with Trace and his supporting cast. Just as the TV series was short lived, so were the books. I think there was 5 or 6 in all. As we enter the summer season, and with the economy causing more and more cuts in peoples spending if you find yourself in one of those paperback trade in places and run across any of the Trace books you could do a lot worse than to pick them up.

A completely new name for me. Sounds good though. A good character trumps a good mystery.
Some funny stuff in these books. And in the Digger books, too.
I was aware of Warren Murphy through his work on the Remo Williams The Destroyer books (co-authored with Richard Sapir) but the Trace books are new to me. Going to keep my eyes peeled for this series. Thanks for bringing Trace to everyone's attention.
hey, thanks for the kind words. actually, i wrote seven trace novels -- and a handful of short stories -- and the seven books won six nat'l awards so i quit while i was ahead.
Mr Murphy: thanks for the additional info and for stopping by.
