Don Pendleton

COPP IN DEEPIn a fast-moving adventure filled with high tension and intrigue, Don Pendleton's ex-cop turned Private Eye, Joe Copp, sinks into a world of greed and corporate corruption, treason, professional sex, and murder on demand. As the corpses pile up, Copp dodges the Feds, butts heads with traitors, romances women with questionable morals, and finds himself out in the cold, in deep, and getting deeper, in his search for truth and justice. Don Pendleton, again, shows he's the master of the form in this classic hardboiled detective fare, one of the six books in the Joe Copp Private Eye mystery series. "Reads like an express train... Pendleton knows how to keep us turning the pages." Publishers Weekly"Pendleton mines another bestselling vein with the cases of ex-cop/private eye Joe Copp, the toughest operator this side of Mike Hammer." ALA Booklist Don Pendleton is creator of The Executioner: Mack Bolan original series of novels and is the "father of the Action/Adventure" literary genre.

Southern California Private Investigator, Joe Copp's new case pulls him into the corporate halls and backlots of Hollywood, behind the glamorous facade of the movie industry, where subjects of a stakeout begin dying, one by one. After an undercover narcotics officer is nearly killed, Copp is charged as an accomplice to murder, and is thrown into a real-life Hollywood scenario, in search of the gaudiest, gamiest game in which sudden death becomes the favorite plot device for the whole bloody show. Copp on Fire, Don Pendleton's rewarding and exciting second Joe Copp Thriller, is a smashing return-engagement by one of the most original and compelling new characters to come along. Pendleton delivers Joe Copp with fast-paced action and plot twists.
