TROUBLEMAKER - JOSEPH HANSEN KARTONIERT (TB)

Love and money are the easy motives in the death of a California beachfront nightclub owner 
but death claims investigator Dave Brandstetter is certain of one thing: the case is going to
be far from easy and the police have it all wrong. Rick Wendell wouldn t hurt a flea. The big 
jovial owner of the Hang Ten  a surfing-themed gay bay on the boardwalk  was loved by regulars
and new arrivals alike. But Rick was found naked and dead  with a local hustler named Larry
Johns standing over him  smoking gun in hand. Wendell s death is ruled as a homicide and Johns
is arrested. Everyone thinks it s a simple open-and-shut case. Everyone except the death claims
investigator  Dave Brandstetter. Brandstetter  a homosexual himself  doesn t make the same
assumptions about the crime scene and easy story it tells. Larry Johns had enough time to
escape had he wanted to. Not to mention Johns lacked any discernable motive  especially since
the $200 in Wendell s wallet was left untouched. In an investigation that takes him from
sun-scorched hillside ranches to seedy boardwalk bars  Brandstetter gets to the bottom of a
twisty mystery in this hardboiled and entertaining portrait of the 70s gay culture by
groundbreaking poet and award-winning crime writer Joseph Hansen.
