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." ~Book World Don Pendleton is creator of The Executioner: Mack Bolan original series of novels and is the "father of the Action/Adventure" literary genre.

Surrounded by a cast of frightened actors, and the theater's gorgeous director, he's been assigned the role of bodyguard for the leading man. Suddenly, Copp is the new target. He's beaten, shot - but worst of all, he is a suspect in a kidnapping rap and the murders of four actors and one FBI informant. Now, government agents and mafia hoods are after him. They are convinced he's involved with an illicit sex and drug operation, and Copp is in the dark as to how it all fits together. All Copp can do is wait for the final curtain, and hope it doesn't fall on him. Book. N° de réf. du vendeur 021152
