Rodney Tripp asked Trace Conger:

Hello Trace... I was wondering whether you write clean novels. This means- no vulgarity / cursing in your writing, no grotesque / sexual scenes. Can your novel be read by a child in their teens? (11-18). Please let me know if you have clean novels. Thanks.

Trace Conger Hi, Rodney. Thanks for the question. I would not consider my Mr. Finn or Connor Harding novels "clean," per se, as there is some language and violence given the genre of those books, but you may want to check out my novel, Five Will Die. This is more of a police procedural, so while there is some descriptions of murder scenes (nothing too graphic), there is no "on-screen" violence. I'm sure there is a curse word or two in there, but again, nothing over the top. I felt comfortable letting my teenage daughter read Five Will Die and The White Boy. While they are not YA novels by any stretch, the subject matter isn't anything they would not have been exposed to in any police drama on TV. Hope this helps.
