The Face on the Cutting Room Floor

I still have all four and was sure I would enjoy many more in the future. Then the author disappeared and the series dried up. I occasionally search for a new effort but now know it's not going to happen. Have never found any reason (author dying, retiring etc) why the author stopped. Loved the protaganists and their give and take.

Cutler uses an unconventional form for his Goodman-Bradley series which could be confusing in the hands of a writer less adept--but is instead illuminating and great fun. His heroes are Goodman, an irrascible over-the-hill P.I. whose glory days are long past, and Bradley, a young West Hollywood guy into the local scene. Cutler's books have chapters alternating the first person voice of each of the two characters which works with diabolical cleverness. Add his Hollywood milieu for the stories and you have magic. It's CRIMINAL there hasn't been a new book featuring this pair in some time
