Trace Mystery Paperback Book by Warren Murphy from Signet Books 1984
(Trace #1)

Devlin Tracy is a very good insurance investigator in a profession that rewards success.

He lives in a luxury condo on the Las Vegas Strip and only works when he feels like it.

He also drinks vodka by the pint, cracks wise to damn-near everyone, and has what can charitably be described as a complicated relationship with his girlfriend.

None of that matters to the Garrison Fidelity Insurance Company. 

They’re interested in results. Which is why they keep Trace on retainer.

Problem: A patient at a private clinic died, shortly after making his doctor the beneficiary of his insurance policy.

Suspicious. 

Now a wealthy friend of the Garrison Fidelity is a patient at the same private clinic, and he isn’t doing well. 

Troubling. Solution: Send Trace, who has a natural way of shaking things up.

On the surface everyone’s friendly and nothing points to murder, fraud or larceny. A late-night beatdown from two masked thugs sends a very different message, however, and tells Trace that he’s onto something.

If only he could figure out what he’s onto.
