Trace 3 When Elephants Forget by Warren Murphy

Trace 3 When Elephants Forget by Warren Murphy

This is an excellent mystery surrounding the murder of the son of a low-level mafia type. To make matters just a little bit odd, the college age son who was murdered was wearing a Richard Nixon mask at the time of his death. Trace has to figure out what the heck happened and do so in New York City which is way too close to New Jersey where his wife and children (“what’s his name and the girl”) live. He’s also saddled with his father who dreams of setting up a detective agency with his son (just so that dad has an excuse to get out of the house and away from Trace’s mother a little while each day).

 

It's an excellent mystery which Trace (with a little help from dad and a lot of help from Chico) unravels in another excellent ending.
