Troublemaker: A Dave Brandstetter Mystery
เจเจธ เจเจกเฉเจ-เจเจฟเจคเจพเจฌ เจฌเจพเจฐเฉ
Joseph Hansenโs groundbreaking investigator Dave Brandstetter delves into the suspicious death of a gay entrepreneur.
Rick Wendellโs ranch is far from town. A remote, dusty hideaway, its only inhabitants are Rick, his aging mother, and her horses. One night, Rickโs 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 heโs 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 killerโand seriously doubt Rickโs mother.
