ABOUT THE BOOK
Hansen's series, which continued until 1991 with A Country Of Old Men, was set in an evocative 70's and 80's Southern California, particularly Los Angeles, for which he received high praise. The LA Times said Hansen had presented Brandstetter's "loves, jealousies and betrayals with both candour and discretion... and never-exploitive honesty". Throughout the course of the series Brandstetter ages physically and grows emotionally as he come to terms with the turmoil of his personal relationships. Now all 12 Dave Brandstetter novels are brought together in one volume: The Complete Brandstetter. Dave Brandstetter novels in order: Fadeout Death Claims Troublemaker The Man Everyone Was Afraid Of Skinflick Gravedigger Nightwork The Little Dog Laughed Early Graves Obedience The Boy Who Was Buried This Morning A Country of Old Men 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
