    Majic Man -- Max Allan Collins

    Audio.

    Historical mystery, but recent history.

    Nate Heller is a Chicago PI that gets pulled into a story of paranoia and paranormal (Red Scare and Roswell) and interacts with the likes of James Forrestal, Harry Truman and a number of others.  Our hero survives and thinks he's discovered the real secret of Roswell by the end.

    There was something a little modern about the story telling, though.  I can't put my finger on it.  It tried to be hard boiled, but ended up being flip instead at times.

    Still, I enjoyed it.  Apparently the tenth book in a series that includes in its mysteries finding out what happened to Amelia Earheart, hanging with the Chicago Mob and interacting with Frank Sinatra.  Could be interesting.
