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.

Great series.
I like PI and police procedural’s. I enjoyed the three books in this set and I am going to get the next set so I can read the 4th, 5th and 6th books. Burnside reminds me of the Rockford files.
Not as compelling a character as Spenser, but very entertaining.
I only read the first book. There was way much about sports and I don’t care for sports. The story was good but it just kept on and on.
I liked the setting and the characters. I liked the action and the by-play between the detective and his girl friend. Very readable. Couldn’t stop until I read all three in the set.
The first book was pretty violent against women and a little sordid. However, I kept reading and enjoyed the last two books the most.
These Burnside books are just great. Set in LA ,Chill tells of the history, the architecture, as he drives from place to place. Also, the weather. It is a clean story with great dialogue that is fast and witty. Love these books. And the murder gets solved with a twist.
I absolutely loved this series. Can’t wait to read more.
I enjoyed the books, however, I grew tired of the constant wise cracking of the main character in every conversation with someone. It just got old and annoying. Having a character with the ability to do so is great but the constant comments regardless of the situation and in every situation became old rather quickly. I did read the books one right after the other which was not a good idea.
Good series. It seems to be geared to a male reader, but this old lady enjoyed them.
Grabs your attention and wants you to learn more about the family
Finished this three series . Enjoyed Burnside, his friends and enemies! Going to start on the next 4 in this series .
Not Spencer but still good !!
Entertainment! A saucy PI with a network of old acquaintances that make for one mystery after another.
Great stories. The author made me feel that I was right there with the characters.
Amazing
Enjoyed the series. Worthy reads
Great series, can’t wait to read more.
Burnsides is in the mold of the Greatest PI ever, Spencer. Both are wise cracking, funny, outstanding investigators. Great read
Burnside is a totally believable character and loved his descriptions of LA, my home town. He brought it to life for me.
