Trace 2 And 47 Miles of Rope by Warren Murphy
This is the most complicated Trace/Digger story to date—so much so that I put together nothing that was important until the end of the story finding most of my entertainment in the subplot around Trace’s parents visiting him in Las Vegas and his mother driving his girlfriend crazy. The mystery involved a murder (which Trace is investigating to make certain that the victim wasn’t killed by the beneficiary of his insurance policy) and some missing jewels (which I assumed without evidence had actually been stolen by the owner in a separate insurance fraud). What actually happened is extremely complex and it wasn’t until Trace explained everything at the end of the story that I understood anything that had happened. I’m not sure that that makes for a good story, but I did find the book entertaining.
