TRIKE TRAFFIC

MIKE FARICY

Trike Traffic by prolific, talented mystery writer Mike Faricy delivers an entertaining, fun-filled mystery. His characters remain the same, supplying the reader with wisdom, humor, and, most of all, amusing dialogue.

Traffic begins as our hero, Dev Haskell, private eye, rescues a three-year-old on a tricycle attempting to cross a major intersection. Like the good citizen he is, Haskell rescues the child and returns the child to her mother. Enter the ever-lurking local mob, boss Tubby Gustafson. To operate his business, Haskell is at the beck and call of Gustafson, who has a long reach. The job is determining who operates an after-hours club without Gustafson's permission. This sounds straightforward, but the reader sees Haskell turning up more dirt under more rocks than anticipated. Haskell's partner, Louis, his officemate and lawyer, is present throughout the book, as well as Haskell's loyal dog, Morton, and his cat, Princess. The readers are introduced to a new character, who is also a private eye, who assists Dev in bringing the book to a favorable conclusion.

Faricy is an old hand who supplies the reader with entertaining, laugh-out-loud, and old-fashioned fun. A reader cannot do any better than read all his books. Faricy is one of my favorite writers who always delivers the goods.
