THE HARDEST THING: A DAN STAGG MYSTERY proves no different, and if I may dare say, one helluva thrilling ride.The novel has all the elements a good mystery, suspense/thriller should have; a hard-ass, down on his luck ex-Marine with violent tendencies robbed of a stellar twelve year career because of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", an well-connected organized crime connection abled by dirty cops and even shadier men, an extraordinarily sexy and talented boy-toy, a bunch of ready cash...and lots of sex!!Did I say lots of sex? THE HARDEST THING is the first Dan Stagg mystery to be released featuring the hardened ex-marine, and Lear has done a superb job developing such a damaged character readers will quickly fall for, and cheer on as he batters his way through brutal circumstances to simply stay alive and keep his human "package" breathing. Only thing he didn't count on ever again, never hoped for again was to fall in love.But for all the loose zipper, tough talking, heavy handed bravado, Stagg is very likeable, one that reminded this reader on more than one occasion of the more mainstream hetero heroes like Lee Child's "Jack Reacher", Barry Eisler's "John Rain", or David Baldacci's "Lee Adams".One thing is for sure, this reader eagerly awaits the next Dan Stagg mystery. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun erotic adventure! *by T***R on December 4, 2013* James Lear presents a fun and intriguing mystery equipped with several mind blowing sex scenes. This book is great for those seeking a quick read with a primary focus on eroticism (as opposed to plot content).Here's what's good:-Amazing, extremely hot x-rated scenes-Intriguing storyline that keeps your focus-Interesting characters-Sexual energy is maintained throughout the storyHere's what's not-so-great:-Story elements are unrealistic (but, hey, this is erotica, so what do you expect?)-The relationship/connection between the main characters is hard to believe-Not enough physical descriptions of the protagonist-- well, from the waist up at least...It's worth the read. Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! a great read! *by K***C on July 22, 2013* Dan Stagg is an unusual protagonist, he's flawed and unapologetic, and a force to be reckoned with. He's an ex-marine dismissed after his lover and fellow soldier was killed by a sniper, and the story starts with him working as a bouncer and pondering his life and thinking about sex. James Lear is the only writer i've read in whose books sex integrally furthers plot and character and he does this in such an organic way that it seems somehow inevitable and never too much even when it would be if anyone else but him would be writing it. I couldn't put the book down. The story draws you in and keeps you interested and i found the ending to be everything i didn't know i hoped for. Lol. If you enjoy gay/lgbt fiction, mystery and suspense, you'll most likely enjoy this book. I certainly look forward to more Dan Stagg. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hardest Thing: A Dan Stagg Mystery - Sun Goes Down: A Mitch Mitchell Mystery - Back Passage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/8562866-hardest-thing-a-dan-stagg-mystery-paperback-june-11-2013](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/8562866-hardest-thing-a-dan-stagg-mystery-paperback-june-11-2013) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
