Hard Bargain (Matt Cooper, Private Eye)

Hard Bargain (Matt Cooper, Private Eye) Review

I was washing my hands at the sink when a shadow fell across my office door. The handle twisted a half turn, the door opened and a man stepped in. He wore a gray double-breasted suit, buttoned up all the way with a white shirt beneath it. A splash of red leaked out between the lapels and a gray pork pie hat sat high on his head. His steel gray eyes scanned the room briefly before he settled in my client’s chair. He looked like he meant business. He looked like he wanted to share that business with me.

Matt Cooper's latest client has one piece of a puzzle and he wants to hire Matt to secure the other pieces, which don't technically belong to him. There's big money at stake and this client will stop at nothing to get what he wants.
