This is a bundle of three Cooper private detective stories. It includes 201: Dead End, 202: Bad Hair Day, and 203: Two in the Bush.

201: Dead End

After two years away from the business, Nick is beginning to regret leaving for his current job at the toy factory. Meanwhile, Matt has taken a case for a woman seeking out information as to what became of her late uncle's estate. During his search for the truth, Matt stumbles upon what turns out to be a serial killer, and the further he digs into the case, the higher the bodies just keep piling up. There's a surprise in store for Lieutenant Kevin Cole as well in this installment of the Cooper Saga.

202: Bad Hair Day

Matt is hired by a man to find out if the librarian that this man thinks looks so much like him might really be his father. In order to know for sure, there would have to be a DNA test, but Matt can't just walk up to the stranger and ask him to submit to the test. Instead he sends Veronica into the library to try to collect hair samples from the librarian. Well, it turns out that the librarian is not that other man's father. However, after Matt submits the librarian's DNA to the statewide database, the police are able to match him up with an unsolved rape and murder. All is not as it seems in this cat-and-mouse game that has Veronica looking over her shoulder now.

203: Two in the Bush

It's Sunday, and Nick has the day off. He decides to pick up his girlfriend, Kelly, and take her back up to their favorite scenic lookout in the mountains. A truck swings wide around a corner, forcing Nick off the road and down the side of the ravine. He and Kelly are trapped there overnight without cell phone service and very little food. Nick just got a bump on the head, but his feet are wedged under the crumpled front end of his compact car. Kelly's leg is broken, and she has internal injuries. To make matters worse, Nick clipped off a couple of bushes on his way down, and now they're sitting on top of his car. How are rescuers supposed to find the couple and the car?
