The Burnside Mystery series follows a Los Angeles private investigator who played college football before switching careers. Starting with Post Pattern (2013), each book takes its title from a football term while telling a standalone mystery story. The series ran steadily from 2013 through Bull Rush (2022).
David Chill published the thirteen books at a consistent pace, typically one or two per year. The LA setting, the PI format, and the football connection give the series a clear identity within the crowded mystery genre.
