Originally published in 1995, the fourth title in the Cooper MacLeish series finds Coop working as chauffeur and factotum for Regis Swanson, a wealthy Chicago real estate developer. When Swanson's wayward son is murdered in what the cops and the DEA insist is a drug deal gone bad, Cooper smells a rat: he knows the kid wasn't into that. Figuring out what really happened will pit Cooper against federal law enforcement hard-liners and some hired guns out to recover a stray suitcase full of cash.
