Copp in the Dark

COPP IN THE DARK Don Pendleton plunges his hard-boiled private eye character, Joe Copp into the dark shadows and lower depths of legitimate theater in this riveting fast-moving story. It all begins innocently enough, except that Copp cannot quite identify his client-it seems that the entire cast of a community dinner theater production of "Man of La Mancha" may have hired him. The fast pace of events threatens to overwhelm Copp in a maze of government agents, organized crime figures, questionable politicians, and murder, as he struggles to learn the truth before he, himself, takes the big fall. Copp is truly "in the dark" until the last bloody act. And not even he can know who will be around to answer the final curtain call. "A fast-moving, even blurring, story of murder behind the floodlights."
