Fadeout is a hardboiled mystery novel by American crime writer Joseph Hansen, and the first to feature his popular character Dave Brandstetter, an openly gay detective.[1] The novel was first published by Harper & Row in 1970, and was reissued by University of Wisconsin Press in 2004 with an introduction from Hansen.[2] In 2022, the book was again republished by Soho Syndicate, a division of Penguin Random House, with a new introduction by Michael Nava.[3]
In 2018, screenwriting duo Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely optioned film and television rights to the entire Brandstetter series.[4] In early 2025, Markus alluded that he was working alone on the project, which had been optioned by Netflix as a pilot.[5][6]
