Pittsburgh has recently (and more than once) been called the most livable city in America; yet the old image of smoky skies and steel mills spewing forth grit has never quite disappeared. Its history as a dirty industrial center is a part of its residents, a part of their toughness. The people of the steel city fight.

Shell Scott is hired to help State Senator Paul Hershey gather information against Joe Blake, one of the biggest crooks Los Angeles has ever produced. Joe Blake is the kingpin behind the opposition party to Paul Hershey’s re-election. Blake is backing the candidate against Hershey, a Blake pawn, and using smear and innuendo in an increasingly vicious campaign. Hershey’s only defense against this onslaught is to get the information that will put Blake behind bars. That’s where Shell Scott comes in.

Each of the stories in this collection was previously available individually on Amazon, Audible and ACX. I've compiled them into one package of approx. 24,000+ words that is also available in audio format on Audible.com, narrated by Larry Terpening.

This is not your typical Cooper story. That is, the main character in this story, Eddie Heller, crosses paths with Matt Cooper but the story is really about Eddie and his quest to become a cop in Hollywood during the 1930s. It follows Eddie life from birth on, ending up on the streets of Hollywood in the 1950s.

I've bundled five Matt Cooper stories together here from the 1948 era. They were written sequentially and flow together almost as a single novel.

The Matt Complete Cooper series consists of a total of 102 short stories to date. All the stories combined would make the file too large, so I broke the collection down into groups of 10 stories each.

201: Dead End. After two years away from the business, Nick is beginning to regret leaving for his current job at the toy factory. Meanwhile, Matt has taken a case for a woman seeking out information as to what became of her late uncle's estate. During his search for the truth, Matt stumbles upon what turns out to be a serial killer, and the further he digs into the case, the higher the bodies just keep piling up.

Matt, Tom, and Elliott (and their wives) are hired by a salvage company to visit the major movie studios and try to buy some of the interior sets from vintage movies. The six of them have a ball going through all that is available and come back with some good finds. However, all is not well back at the salvage company as Matt will soon find out. Meanwhile, Matt makes a bet with his son, Nicky, that he can't retrace one of the original cases that the 1946 Matt handled and do it as efficiently as he did back then.

Elliott is hired by a member of the local country club to find out who has been stealing things from his locker. Sounds tame enough, but after Elliott sets up his surveillance cameras to catch the thief in the act, he catches something else on video instead - murder. Who bashed that fellow's head in with a Ping driver?

In the last Cooper Story, #86 - The Next Great Adventure, Clay helped get Harry Fleming out of town and saved his life. In this installment, Harry wants to repay Clay and invites him to come to Denver for a week. On the way there, Clay meets a woman on the plane and they become friends. Before the plane reaches Denver, however, it collides with a flock of geese and goes down in the Rocky Mountains. The only survivors are Clay and the woman he met. Now how do they get out of this mess? Or do they?

Matt and Gloria are hired to tail a recently released convict, hoping he'll lead them to the two million dollars he stole from an armored car before he went to prison. Along with the latest in surveillance and tracking equipment, this mother and son team will get results if it kills them. Let's hope not.

Cooper Three-Pack consists of the following short stories: "067 - Room For One Less," "068 - The Glowing Corpse," and "069 - All The Write Moves."

It's business as usual for Matt Cooper's son, Clay and his grandson, Elliott...well almost. Something has got Clay distracted. He's found himself a girlfriend and Elliott's dying to know who the lucky woman is. Clay's not about to kiss and tell, and besides, they have a triple homicide to look into and they don't need the distraction of a woman slowing their reaction times. The things these two private eyes are into could prove deadly for one of them, but it isn't what you might expect.

Three Cooper stories, previously published, compiled here in novel length. Includes 181: "Dead Man's Hand", 182: "Case Closed", and 183: "In the Red".
