A Country Of Old Men by Joseph Hansen
UNFORTUNATELY THIS TITLE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
Spare and stylish
After 21 years veteran P.I., Dave Brandstetter is finally going to get
some rest - that is after one last case. He investigates a wild tale of
kidnapping and murder retold by a bruised and grubby little boy found
wandering on the beach alone. The police don't believe the kid - just
as they don't believe there is anything to the drug-related shooting
of a rock guitarist. Dave is lured out of retirement to confront the
street drug barons, powerful politicians, sleazy record executives,
child abuse... and to unravel as snarled a tangle of carnage and deception
as he has ever faced.

'Spare and stylish' - London Financial Times
'Hansen is to gay detective fiction what Sara Paretsky is to feminist sleuthing.' - Pink Paper
