P.I. Burnside is hired to find a missing former football star whose life has not turned out as well as planned. But when an acquaintance is murdered, the stakes rise, as the police have the former player on their radar as the prime suspect. The pressure mounts on Burnside as the player’s high-profile family and friends want to keep the investigation quiet, for reasons that appear dark and sinister.
The investigation sends Burnside into the best and worst of L.A., into the rarified air of the rich and powerful, as well as the mean streets where life is tough, and life is short. Burnside is left to fend for himself, as he desperately tries to find the former player before any more carnage can strike. He calls upon old friends and former colleagues, all of whom provide morsels of leads that Burnside must cobble together. And it wouldn’t be a Burnside novel without the sharp-tongued investigator getting into verbal jousts with a variety of unusual characters.
Bull Rush is the 13th novel of the award-winning Burnside mystery series. It takes place at the tail end of a sizzling Los Angeles summer, a time when nerves are frayed, and it doesn’t take much for a fuse to get lit, and fireworks to go off! It is a mystery that comes complete with a puzzling set of clues, as well as a very satisfying ending.
