The Man Everybody Was Afraid Of
A Dave Brandstetter MysteryBy Joseph HansenNarrated by Keith SzarabajkaLength5h 14m
About this audiobook
In the small town of La Caleta, Dave Brandstetter investigates the murder of a very unpopular cop.
When Ben Orton’s head is found bludgeoned by a heavy flower pot, the people of La Caleta are stunned—not because their police chief has been murdered, but because no one thought to do it sooner. A bruising, violent man, Ben had a commitment to order that did not always take the law into account. But as insurance investigator Dave Brandstetter is about to find out, the corruption in Ben’s police force did not die with him.
By the time Dave arrives in the fading fishing town, a young activist has already been arrested for the murder. Only Dave seems to care that the evidence against the accused is laughably thin. As the people of La Caleta try their best to thwart his investigation, Dave must do whatever it takes to catch Ben’s killer.
