ABOUT THE BOOK


this title is out of stock indefinitely

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.


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

'test review'
