    The boy who was buried this morning : a Dave Brandstetter novel

    Rare Books

    "The loss of a dear friend has retired P.I. Dave Brandstetter in a funk. The 1980s haven't been kind to Los Angeles, either, and the city Dave loves seems to be vanishing before his eyes. Dave isn't getting any younger, and his boyfriend, Cecil, is happy to see Dave's days of working dangerous jobs behind him. But Cecil also recognizes that work may be the investigator's best way out of his recent depression. When a former work colleague of Cecil's is shot by a live round at a paintball park in rural Southern California, he decides to encourage Dave to look into it. The deceased wasn't exactly someone Cecil or Dave would mourn. Vaughn Thomas was a troubled young man; a silver spoon elite who dabbled in militias and weekend warrior games while cultivating his connections with fellow white supremacists. Vaughn would have hated everything about Dave and Cecil, but it doesn't take long for the old investigator to see that the official story is anything but right. 'Emotions doesn't change facts,' Dave once told Cecil, but as Dave dips his toes deeper into the case, he quickly realizes that facts have a hard time with bigotry and bullets"--Back cover.
