Just a Painter: A David and Trait Mystery
The boys are afoot. Well, they're on foot. The old sedan is out of commission. Luckily, a client's deposit will buy some cab rides. It's too bad she's spending her inheritance like she'll get another one.
1950s detectives John Trait and David DeGrabber are searching for her father's killer. He was only a lowly painter. How hard could it be? Was it one of the ex-wives, maybe jealous competition, or could it have something to do with a college-aged cultist?
There're a lot of layers to this onion. Find out how the boys at The David and Trait Detective Agency peel it in this romp up and down Lakeshore Chicago. One more thing, there are some girls going missing. Maybe they can work that out too. It could be there's more to it than, Just A Painter.
About the series:
The David and Trait Series are completely episodic, so you can start on whichever one you like. No cheesy big bads from one to the next, or heavy secondary arcs to worry about. John Trait, who tells the stories, and his partner David DeGrabber, are just a couple of able bodied men trying to make it on their own terms after the Allied victory. These are good clean mysteries, in the classic style. No profanity, no graphic descriptions of violence, and no hard drinking depressed detectives here. John helped to liberate France, and we don't know where Dave spent his time, but we may one day find out, in The David and Trait Mysteries.
