Hollywood, September 1956 Bryan Duffy is settling into Hollywood two years after migrating from frigid Milwaukee. Sunshine is better than ice for the crutches he needs to walk after surviving a polio attack and a stint in an iron lung. His private detective agency is growing. His beloved Milwaukee Braves are in a pennant race with the hated Brooklyn Dodgers.

Bryan's new case sends him undercover at a local high school to investigate a suspicious electrical accident. Last year's shooting of the Finn comes back to threaten Jameson Parnells, Bryan's electronics wizard partner in the detective agency, and George Barbour, head of national security information gathering in Los Angeles. To make matters worse, Mickey Cohen's deadly lieutenant, the Rabbit, is involved in the reopening of the case. Other major LA power players jump in to settle grudges behind the scenes.

"High Voltage - A Bryan Duffy Mystery" and "Spring Time - A Bryan Duffy Mystery" are the first two books in the series.
