Carter Railcar has a problem. Murder on the factory floor. A saboteur in the operation.
When the call comes in to their Chicago office, detectives John Trait and David DeGrabber hurry over to get to the bottom of things.
There's nothing straightforward about this one. A mystery full of the unusual characters at any workplace. Puzzles to solve, poeple to chase, and an explosive finale. There's the matter of a little bank robbery too.
See how the boys sort it out in, 'Strange pair'.
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.
