Dave Brandstetter's best days are behind him, but for the sake of a frightened child, Dave takes on his very last case. The wear and tear of a life spent pursuing the truth into harm's way is catching up with Dave. In fact, it has already caught him. The aged death claims investigator is old enough for his body to hurt even without all the compiled injuries he's sustained throughout his career. Yet when presented with a puzzle-like mystery, Dave can't help but be drawn in. Walking on the beach, a friend finds a bedraggled child who claims he has witnessed a murder. The victim is a drug-addicted pop star, and the obvious suspect is the dead man's ex-girlfriend--a drug addict whom the child saw standing over the body, gun in hand. In the final installment of Joseph Hansen's groundbreaking series, Dave looks for justice once more, hoping that he will also find a lasting measure of peace. Over the course of twelve novels spanning four decades of American culture--from the 1960s to the late 1980s--Joseph Hansen gave readers one of the truly great heroes of detective fiction.

The David Brandstetter mystery series is one of the very best I've read since Philip Marlowe was on the scene. The characters are written as if they were James Bond, but put in situations like a private detective.
The family business is Insurance Investigations and son David has taken over. He has a few quirks in his character like most investigators, he likes his Glenlivet, his smokes and loves his best friend...whom also happens to be a man.
Do not turn away from these awesome mysteries simply because of that!
I've often wondered why this series was never produced as a TV show. Perhaps now is the time.
