Copp in Shock — Don Pendleton

PRIVATE EYE JOE FOR MURDER

Someone shaved Copp's head with a bullet. When he comes to, he can't remember his own name. The basics come back fast, but the facts aren't pretty. A beautiful woman lies dead in the L.A. County Morgue, killed with Copp's gun. Before he can figure out what hit him, he's the prime suspect -- a man on the run, wanted for murder.

Shock has wiped out three crucial weeks from his memory. A clue leads to an East Sierra town where he finds the home of the late Martha Kaufman and an alarming document -- a license that says they've been married! But as the baffling pieces begin falling into place, bullets are flying. Mayhem has come to peaceful Mammoth Lake. Copp is determined to find out what happened and why. Yet only one thing is certain: the cold-blooded killer who set his sights on Copp didn't mean to miss.
