Private Investigator, Joe Copp’s case pulls him into the corporate halls and back lots of Hollywood, behind the glamorous facade of the movie industry, where subjects of a stakeout are murdered. 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 where death becomes the favorite plot device for the whole bloody show.
“Pendleton has a hold of something very fundamental here— as if he had seen the basic template from which all P.I.’s are cut, a truly unexpected pleasure.”
