Browning P.I. is the 5th in the Richard Browning series by Peter Corris. Richard Browning is an ex-pat Aussie, part-time actor and part-time Private Investigator, living and working in Los Angeles in 1944. He's hired by PI Pete McVey to help find missing scriptwriter Hart Sallust, last seen with an oriental beauty. When McVey and Browning manage to track her down, she seems distraught, claiming she was held at knife-point and Hart was kidnapped. As the investigation proceeds, Browning finds himself variously in bed with the exquisite May Lin, bound hand and foot in a remote cabin, in a church service with anti-Communists, talking to author Raymond Chandler, living in a luxury hotel, looking for Chinese treasure and falling in love. There's plenty of booze, smoking and sex, along with some gunplay and fisticuffs. A great Corris read.
