Troublemaker

Joseph Hansen

Summary

Joseph Hansen’s groundbreaking investigator Dave Brandstetter delves into the suspicious death of a gay entrepreneurRick 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.  Troublemaker is book three in the Dave Brandstetter Mystery series, which also includes The Man Everybody Was Afraid Of and Skinflick.

Chase Me Home

And deep down, he's the same boy who stole that first kiss from me in the darkness of my dorm room.
