From Britannica: Dave Brandstetter is a middle-aged "gay insurance investigator ...who operates in Southern California... a savvy, sympathetic character. In Fadeout (1970), the first novel to feature Brandstetter, he falls in love with a man whom he clears of murder charges. Death Claims (1973) is about surviving the death of a lover. Brandstetter investigates the murder of the owner of a gay bar in Troublemaker (1975). In Early Graves (1987) he comes out of retirement to trace a serial killer who murders victims of AIDS. The detective also appears in the novels The Man Everybody Was Afraid Of (1978), Skinflick (1980), Gravedigger (1982), Nightwork (1984), The Little Dog Laughed (1986), Obedience (1988), The Boy Who Was Buried This Morning (1990), and A Country of Old Men (1991), as well as in Brandstetter and Others (1984), a collection of short stories."
