Busted Flush Press is excited to announce the release of The Man Who Died Laughing / The Man Who Lived by Night, the first two mysteries in David Handler s Edgar Award-winning series featuring celebrity ghostwriter Stewart Hoagy Hoag & his faithful basset hound, Lulu. Out of print for almost 20 years, these books are nearly impossible to find, even online or in used bookstores. In The Man Who Died Laughing, Hoagy & Lulu find themselves in Hollywood, where Hoagy is ghosting the memoirs of has-been funnyman Sonny Day. When it becomes apparent that someone wants to kill the book, Hoagy discovers that ghostwriting can be murder. In The Man Who Lived by Night, Hoagy is off to London to dig up the secrets of reclusive bad-boy superstar Tristam 'T. S.' Scarr, formerly of the legendary British rock group Us. T.S. is ready to reveal all, in a book destined to become a controversial best-seller. But then someone intends to send Hoagy to the top of the charts with a bullet. Busted Flush Press will reprint all eight of the Hoagy & Lulu mysteries in a series of four omnibus volumes.

Review
"One of my all-time favorite series!" --New York Times best-seller Harlan Coben
"Some books deserve to go quietly into that good night, but the works of David Handler are not among them. Busted Flush Press has brought back to print a master of the mystery genre. Stewart Hoag, amateur private eye, has smarts and intelligence. Handler brings his characters to life instantly the voices are original and real. Best of all, though, Handler treats his audience with respect. He doesn t write down. And Lulu will steal your heart." --Carolyn Haines, author of Bones to Pick and Penumbra
"If I could get Stewart Hoag to ghostwrite my books they'd sell better, and I'd laugh myself silly. David Handler is a hoot, and his books are just the thing for what ails you. I find it hard to begrudge him his Edgar!" --Parnell Hall, author of You Have the Right to Remain Puzzled

The Man Is Back,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Man Who Died Laughing / The Man Who Lived by Night (Stewart Hoag & Lulu Series) (Paperback)
David Handler's Stewart Hoag is suave, debonaire, and witty. As a ghostwriter for celebrities, he works with a range of bizarre characters--but none so strange (and adorable) as Lulu, his persnickety fish-eating dog and assistant detective. The first two volumes of the series have been out of print and it's great to have them available again.Handler also writes another delightful mystery series starring an odd couple--film critic Mitch Berger and policewoman Des Mitry--in a small Connecticut town.

I've waited 20 years before I found The Man Who Lived by Night. I don't know why it went out of print. A fine read. I love the Hoagy/Lulu series. Lots of fun.
