Three murder mysteries — but the theme always comes down to sex and money… fascinating characters!
The First 3 Novels In The Burnside Mystery Series (Box Set # 1) Includes:
POST PATTERN
FADE ROUTE
BUBBLE SCREEN
POST PATTERN (Book 1):
On a dark Los Angeles freeway, someone fires a gunshot at a local football star.
His family turns to Private Investigator Burnside, a former football star himself, who has recently left the LAPD. As he battles his way through the investigation, Burnside’s own life is repeatedly placed in jeopardy, and the body count starts to pile up.
Burnside encounters beautiful girls, wayward athletes and overworked cops on his way toward finding a killer who knows he’s looking for them. And as he navigates this perilous path, Burnside also comes to grips with a betrayal from his past, one that keeps returning to him, no matter how hard he tries to avoid it.
Set against the sun drenched backdrop of a hot Los Angeles summer, Post Pattern provides readers with an engaging, action-packed story. The novel delivers a smart, sexy plot with crackling dialogue and fascinating characters.
FADE ROUTE (Book 2):
A candidate for mayor has been murdered and there’s one obvious suspect.
But Burnside, the former football star turned private investigator, pushes forward into a harrowing investigation that reveals more and more possible culprits, all with their own motives. As the action intensifies, Burnside himself becomes embroiled in a case which goes beyond just one murder. And when the police suspect he’s a person of interest, Burnside must race against time to find the killer.
With little more to go on than his gut feeling, Burnside pokes at everything around him. Desperately trying to untangle a web of deceit that threatens to destroy him personally, he is also faced with a scenario that could take down an entire community..
BUBBLE SCREEN (Book 3):
It starts with some missing warehouse inventory, but the case quickly moves beyond simple larceny. And when theft turns to murder, the stakes rise dramatically, and the action intensifies.
The story leads Private Investigator Burnside onto the trail of some people who will do anything to acquire money — and they will use any means necessary to keep it. And as he plunges into the investigation, Burnside also has to make a life altering decision about his own future.
Interweaving the world of business with the world of football, Bubble Screen is set in the heart of Los Angeles. It is a captivating thrill ride that combines fascinating characters, wry humor, and an explosive ending that is both stunning and unexpected.

Outstanding depiction of people, places, and life in LA as seen through the original lens of an ex-college football hero turned P.I. Most enjoyable, thanks!
I loved all three books. Having moved from CA two years ago to AL it was fun to read all the places the author mentions in the stories. And I learned a lot of facts about the university.
Vivid sense of place (Southern California) and a likable central character, convincing action sequences and just enough humor.
great characters kept me on the edge of my seat
Very similar to Parker’s Spenser. Just needs a “Hawk”, but is fun to follow around a city map of Los Angelos.
Easy interesting read. Like the main character
I liked it
Loving this series! David Chill writes so well and so real. His characters are well developed and the story line keeps you guessing. The David Marlowe style of writing is engaging and refreshing. Hoping there are more David Chill stories after I finish reading these!
It is good to see a solid tough detective series. A very good read.
I really enjoyed the Burnside character and am looking forward to more from this author.
This series is truly worth reading.
I really enjoyed reading all three books they were exciting and action-packed which is what I really like. I would recommend them if you like the Robert B Parker Spenser books that’s what it reminded me about
Good detective stories with a human side but not overly “cute”.
Oh i so enjoyed books 1-3. Each book stands alone as great entertainment on its own. I read each day on the train & I could hardly wait to get back to my book. I always amazes me how someone can write with such appeal to so many. You will enjoy these books
I really enjoyed this series of crime, mystery, love and just all around good reading. I ordered the next series and am reading it now. Great reading about a private PI and all his exploits.
Reads like you’re watching a favorite detective show, a character that delivers and action that keeps you interested. Grab your easy chair; you’ll want to sit awhile with this series.
Good read
Burnside (one word) is football tough, well-read, erudite, sarcastic, and deeply devoted to his own sense of justice. He’s annoying yet cool.
A fast. interesting read
I would like to read more. Except for misdirected love interests, the main character who is a chaplain in the prison system and an investigator on the side, there is a lot to contemplate regarding good and evil. What is religion? Lots of action and twists.
