Z267

by Bill Bernico

I've been writing Cooper stories since 1989. Here for the first time are all 98 stories in one volume, with a Table Of Contents. These stories will take you through three generations of Coopers in the private eye business. It covers the period from 1934 to 2013 and Features Matt Cooper, his son Clay, his grandson, Elliott and Elliott's new partner, Gloria. Once you get to know the characters, they'll seem like part of the family. Within these pages you'll find murder, mystery, suspense, humor, nostalgia and good old family values.
