Skinflick (A Dave Brandstetter Mystery #5)

Synopsis

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF DAVE BRANDSTETTERDeath claims investigator Dave Brandstetter navigates the opposing realms of evangelical Christianity and the porn business while tracking a lost girl in late 1970s Los Angeles. Lon Tooker certainly fits the profile: big, strong, a Marine Corps veteran, and recently the target of evangelical crusader Gerald Dawson&’s wrath. Tooker&’s adult toys and pornography store on the local skid row has recently become the target of Dawson&’s church men&’s group and their destructive masked raids on &“un-Christian&” businesses. When Dawson is strangled to death by someone of Tooker&’s size and ability, the police see a smut-peddler with a motive. Case closed. But death claims investigator Dave Brandstetter doesn&’t like it. By all accounts Tooker is a softy incapable of such a crime. Actual evidence is nonexistent and assumptions many. And Dave particularly doesn&’t care for assumptions based on someone&’s sex life. But Dave is also navigating new personal territory. His father&’s death has left him bereaved and for the first time in a long time without a job. Dave quit the insurance company his father built and has struck out on his own as a private investigator. Add in his breakup with his recent partner and he&’s a man unencumbered. It&’s the late 1970s and Dave may be aging a bit but he&’s still handsome, wealthy, and recently in possession of a new convertible Triumph. Looks like it&’s not all hard work.
