The Trace series has been listed ... but no one mentioned the short-lived TV series that resulted ... starring George Segal (?) and Maggie Han (?) ... in a series the title of which I can't remember ... The Digger series ... #1 - Smoked Out #2 - Fool's Flight #3 - Dead Letter #4 - Lucifer's Weekend ... and that's all I know about. He and his wife, Mollie Cochran, did a two book series about a chess Grandmaster - Justin Gilead (?). He has a number of non-series titles out there too ... mostly in the mystery/thriller arena ... and it seems to me he and his wife did a Sci-Fi fantasy title as well. He was nominated six times for a Shamus Award ... and received one.
