Copp on Ice

A Joe Copp Thriller

By: Don Pendleton

Narrated by: Gene Engene

Serious trouble is brewing in Brighton, California, a sprawling coastal community on the eastern edge of the Los Angeles Basin: Its Mayor has just been murdered, and the chief of police has resigned amid rumors of corruption in his department. Now, ex-police officer Joe Copp has been hired by an old friend, the current Brighton City administrator, to get to the bottom of the municipal mess.

Copp's investigation uncovers a trail of corpses and a tangled web of sex, drugs, and official corruption. Suddenly, Copp finds himself skating on thin ice, caught in a shoot-out with a deadly accurate SWAT team.

Critic reviews

"Action filled. Copp is a likeable tough guy. An exciting, satisfying read." (Booklist)
"Pendleton proves again he is the equal of Mickey Spillane when it comes to the hard-boiled mystery." (Mystery Writer)
"Pendleton deserves his popularity. A real whiz-bang of a story." (Associated Press)

COPP ON ICE

This is another good book about Joe Copp. In this book Joe takes a job as a police chief as a favor to a friend. There is a lot of corruption in the office. Joe's job is to clean house. He goes in on a mission. He is hardcore. He has no friends and a lot of people wants him dead. This book is full of action. Also a good mystery. You dont know who the corrupt people are until the end. Gene Engene is one of my favorite narrators. He did an excellent job narrating this book.

Probably not....

The narrator sounds way to much like Walter Brimley (the old guy with the mustache) to me. I'm having trouble relating to the plot because I keep seeing an older person selling insurance to the elderly. Can't get past the voice to really give the book a chance.
