End Of An Era
Summary
It's 2002 now and Matt's 91. Clay is 52 and his grandson, Elliott is 22. Elliott wants to be a writer and has asked grandpa Matt if he and his private eye exploits would like to be the subject of his first book. Matt agrees and tells Elliott the story of how it all began back in the 1930s. This story starts in 1934 and has Matt telling of his beginnings in the Chicago Police Department, his move to Los Angeles, his beginnings in the Los Angeles Police Department, his first marriage to Stella and life after her death. If you've been following the Matt Cooper series, this story may help fill in some of the blanks you may have been wondering about (I've been wondering about them myself).

Is it possible to scare someone to death? Absolutely. And that's just what this pair of killers is doing so as not to leave any traces of trauma on the victims. Each death appears to be caused by a heart attack. Why does Elliott NOT want to get involved in this case, now that his business is called Cooper and Son again?

Cooper in Charge
Summary
This volume consists of previously published Cooper stories. The stories contained in this in this collection include: "Full Circle": Elliott's finishing up his last few days as a P.I. before he retires. He and Matt are hired by a fussy client to follow a man who has already eluded two other detective agencies already. Elliott guarantees the client that he and Matt can get the job done in two days or there'll be no charge. The client doesn't think it can be done, but Elliott has an ace up his sleeve. "About Face": Elliott has just retired and Matt has taken over the business. Matt's first assignment has him babysitting a court witness who had the bad luck to have a face lift and come out looking like someone the mob is after. "Egg Zackly": On his way to taking Gloria to the dentist, Matt witnesses a bad accident on the Hollywood Freeway and gets the go ahead from the new Lieutenant, Kevin Cole, to look into the cause. What he finds are a couple of troublemakers throwing eggs off the overpass at passing vehicles. Now he has to try to find out who they are and stop them before someone gets killed. "Double Take": Matt runs into an old friend from high school who hires him to find her stolen antique wood box that still contains her $8,000 in a hidden compartment. The box also contains a stash of cocaine, so the woman can't got to the police with her problem. Meanwhile, the new lieutenant at the 12th precinct, Kevin Cole, has problems of his own. Two women were killed and there are no suspects. These women were twin sisters that everyone at the local bar knew as "Heckle and Jeckle".
