My Gun Has Bullets by screenwriter & tie-in novelist Lee Goldberg (SYKM, IMDB, Wikipedia), 1st in his Charlie Willis series of humorous mysteries set in Hollywood, starring an ex-cop turned security agent, this installment originally out from St. Martin's Press in 1995.

When Beverly Hills Police Officer Charlie Willis pulls over a speeding Rolls Royce hell-bent for Neiman Marcus, he’s surprised to see Esther Radcliffe, the geriatric star of the TV series Miss Agatha, behind the wheel. He’s even more surprised when she guns him down and keeps on driving. A few hours later, he wakes up in the intensive care unit…to find a William Morris agent, a network president, and the head of Pinnacle Studios standing at the foot of his bed. They have a proposal for him: if he forgets who shot him, they’ll make him the star of his own series, My Gun Has Bullets. Charlie takes the deal, trading his real badge for a fake one…and so begins an uproarious but deadly romp through the wonderful world of TV make-believe…with real bullets.

Dark Eye of the Jaguar by Robert Mitchell. This is a newly-written treasure hunt thriller involving Australians chasing down artifacts from the Boxer Rebellion in Beijing, but if you enjoyed the Boolarong Press-published backlist freebies he offered previously, perhaps you might like to give this one a try as well.

The Partnership: A Novel by Stephen J. Harper (presumably no relation to the namesake current Canadian prime minister), an adjunct professor at Northwestern University, and himself once a litigator. This is apparently a self-published legal thriller, but it quotes a favourable Midwest Book Review, and Harper has also written award-winning non-fiction on true crime and the law, out from Basic Books and Borealis, which are imprints of the Big 6, so perhaps you might be interested in giving his novel a try.
