Digger 2 Fool's Flight by Warren Murphy

Digger 2 Fool’s Flight by Warren Murphy

A private plane goes down with forty people and its pilot—each of whom had just taken out a $250,000 insurance policy at an airport vending machine. Digger is asked to find out if there’s any reason at all his insurance company could refuse to pay the money. Once again, Murphy has put together a fascinating case with great little clues. But the best part of the book is that Digger’s Japanese girlfriend, a genius-IQ blackjack dealer (and sometimes prostitute) gets a lot more screen time in this novel than she did in the first. She’s a fabulous character who is smarter than Digger. Her relationship with him is at times troubling and at times very cute. Neither are particularly faithful, both clearly care deeply about each other, but are too personally messed up to commit to a normal relationship.

 

Once again, a great story with a great solution.
