Copp for Hire

CRIME. VIOLENCE. CORRUPTION. DIRTY TRICKS. NASTY SECRETS...ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.

Joe Copp's heard all the jokes about his name. He's heard and seen a lot of things. Things you wouldn't believe. Things they edit out of the late night news.

Joe walks the hard side. By choice. Joe's a tough guy. Not mean...tough. Has to be in his line of work. Especially now.

A pretty young thing came to him too late to save her life. Then her roommate. A cruel, ugly death.

Now Joe's got a case and no client, digging up answers and stepping over corpses--from night-time L.A. to the sex bars of Honolulu--in league with a Chinese vice lord, in love with a beautiful, dangerous woman, in dutch with some sadistic cops and a kinky politician, and in line for a morgue slab of his own.

The hard side. It's murder.
