ABOUT THE BOOK
Judging by the wreckage of Fox Olson's white convertible, it looked as if the singer had missed a narrow wooden bridge and plunged to his death. Then were was the body? Olson's wife, daughter and son-in-law insisted it would be found. But insurance claims investigator Dave Brandstetter had his doubts. He thought Olson had chosen to disappear. Doggedly Dave pursues leads and finds: a relationship between Olson's wife and his manager too warm to be called friendship, the sudden return after twenty odd years of a man who had been Olson's closest boyhood friend, and more than one 'fan' who had reason to resent Olson's hard-won success. CRITICAL ACCLAIM 'The Brandstetter stories develop strongly with a striking quality of measured calm' - Sunday Times 'After 40 years Hammett has a worthy successor' - The Times 'Spare and stylish' - The Financial Times 'The most exciting and effective writer of the classic private-eye novel working today' - Los Angeles Times 'Unusual in two respects. One is that the insurance investigator, though ruggedly masculine, is thoroughly and contentedly homosexual. the other is that Hansen is an excellent craftsmen, a compelling writer.' - New Yorker
