This is a welcome reissue of Joseph Hansen’s pioneering mystery series starring Dave Brandstetter, a gay private eye in 70s and 80s California. Dave Brandstetter stands alongside Philip Marlow, Sam Spade and Lew Archer as one of the best fictional PIs in the business. Like them, he is tough, determined, and ruthless when the case demanded it, but unlike them, he is gay.
Radio personality Fox Olsen seemed to have it all: devoted wife, adoring fans, perfect life. When his car is found crashed in a dry river bed, all of California mourns. But there is no body...
Insurance investigator Dave Brandstetter is hired to dig a little deeper. And the more he looks into Fox Olsen's life, the more it seems as if he had good reason to disappear.
Author: Joseph Hansen.
