Fadeout: The Dave Brandstetter Mysteries, Book 1

Fadeout is the first of Joseph Hansen’s twelve classic mysteries featuring rugged Dave Brandstetter, an insurance investigator who is contentedly gay.

When entertainer Fox Olson’s car plunges off a bridge in a storm, a death claim is filed, but where is Olson’s body? As Brandstetter questions family, fans, and detractors, he grows certain Olson is still alive and must find him before the would-be killer does.

Suspenseful and wry, shrewd and deeply felt, Fadeout remains as fresh today as when it startled readers more than thirty years ago.

Death Claims: The Dave Brandstetter Mysteries, Book 2

Death Claims is the second in Joseph Hansen’s acclaimed mystery series featuring the ruggedly masculine Dave Brandstetter, a gay insurance investigator.

When John Oats’ body is found washed up on a beach, his young lover April Stannard is sure it was no accident. Brandstetter agrees: Oats’s college-age son, the beneficiary of the life insurance policy, has gone missing.

Troublemaker: The Dave Brandstetter Mysteries, Book 3

Joseph Hansen’s groundbreaking investigator Dave Brandstetter delves into the suspicious death of a gay entrepreneur.

Rick Wendell’s ranch is far from town. A remote, dusty hideaway, its only inhabitants are Rick, his aging mother, and her horses. One night, Rick’s mother returns from the movies to find Rick lying on the floor, stark naked and with a gaping bullet wound in his chest. Standing over him is his lover, a mustachioed hippie, who swears he did not fire the gun that he’s holding. The case seems open-and-shut, but Dave Brandstetter is not satisfied.

An insurance investigator with an unusually keen sense of detection, Dave is openly gay and professionally skeptical. Something about the murder causes him to trust the alleged killer – and seriously doubt Rick’s mother.
