SWIM MOVE
HARD COUNT
JET SWEEP
SWIM MOVE (Book 10):
When an old friend from high school shows up in P.I. Burnside’s office for help, neither have any idea that this case will spiral into fraud, kidnapping and murder. But as Burnside begins looking into his friend’s beautiful celebrity daughter, he uncovers more and more people who have a dispute with her – and a reason to inflict harm.
Once again, Burnside’s investigation takes readers on a harrowing journey through the best and worst of Los Angeles. Burnside navigates his way with a little help from some pro football players and is forced to work around detectives from multiple police departments, who would prefer this case would just go away. The series reaches uncharted territory when Burnside gets a legendary meeting with the LAPD’s Chief of Police – an interaction the Chief would like to forget! The 10th book in the Burnside Mystery series is smoothly written and is a joy to read. The story builds to a pulsating climax, and will leave the reader hungry for more!
HARD COUNT (Book 11):
Gunshots are fired at a former football star, and Burnside is brought in to investigate. But as the body count begins to grow, the police start questioning whether this football great might actually be the one behind it. And they even begin to wonder if Burnside himself might be the culprit….
The former player has a son who’s a budding star himself. And on the eve of the NFL draft, a crafty sports agent enters the picture to entice Burnside to keep things quiet, until his client can sign a huge contract. But as Burnside begins to probe into the shootings, he uncovers the man’s friends, family, neighbors, and business associates are all becoming likely suspects. The stress of the investigation reaches a boiling point, when Burnside loses control and must face the consequences of his actions. Fans of Raymond Chandler, Robert B. Parker, and Janet Evanovich will love this story – the plot is engaging, and packed with lots of twists and turns!
JET SWEEP (Book 12):
When Burnside is lured into a scheme involving a star football player he had once recruited out of high school, he tries to turn the tables on the perpetrator. But when shots are fired on a darkened L.A. street, he is plunged into the most challenging case of his career, where nothing is as it seems.
The story leads Burnside into the world of startup companies, and the entitled people who run them. He finds a twisted trail of age-old grievances and shocking betrayals. And it wouldn’t be a Burnside mystery if he didn’t manage to also upstage the police, as his investigation is always a step ahead of theirs, creating yet another thorny path for him to navigate. His remarkable journey parallels the story and creates depth and texture to one of modern crime fiction’s most irreverent heroes.

Mr.Chill writes in a way that makes you care about the characters. That is not easy. None of it seems contrived. The different stories are all believable and interesting.
