Regarding Steve Miller's query, I have five Signet paperbacks of the Trace series authored by Warren Murphy. They are, in order of publication: (1.) TRACE; (2.) TRACE AND 47 MILES OF ROPE; (3.) WHEN ELEPHANTS FORGET; (4.) ONCE A MUTT; (5.) GETTING UP WITH FLEAS. The last-named title, published in 1987, won the Edgar for best paperback original. I am unaware of any additional titles in the series. It has been a decade or more since I read these books, but I remember them as exception- ally good reads. - # RARA-AVIS: To unsubscribe, say "unsubscribe rara-avis" # to majordomo@icomm.ca
