Work at Odds: A David and Trait Mystery
Clean, Classic Mysteries. Does the slaying of bad men make a good guy? That’s not really the sort of thing the David and Trait Detective Agency worry about. Chicago gangsters are being eliminated at a startling rate. When an infamous mobster hires the boys to stop the killings, it’s business as usual for the P.I.’s. If only the Chicago P.D. could see it that way. Working girls, Outfit heavies, and angry cops are what’s in store for David DeGrabber and John Trait as they ‘Work at Odds’.
About 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.

About the author
Shane Chastain
16 books5 followersMy name is Shane Chastain, and I write the David and Trait Mysteries. I've always been fascinated by the genre, the clues, the cleverness. My books aim to recreate the energies of the classics that we all grew up reading. Before DNA would tell the killer by a stray hair, when the lean of a letter from a typewriter was as good a clue as any. When they wouldn't lock a guy away, if he walked up to a stranger's front door and knocked on it. My books aren't meant to reinvent the wheel, just ride on it.
