Bury It Deep takes Cooper into the muddy waters of Chicago politics via his friendship with Melvin Moreland, an ambitious but unlucky reporter for a big Chicago daily who is determined to break his first really big story. When Moreland asks Cooper to come along to watch his back at a midnight rendezvous with a nameless source, the first of several bodies turns up just before the cops do. Cooper is forced to take time out from his mid-life crisis (Diana wants him out of the cab) to help Moreland untangle the ensuing intrigues, which feature missing tapes, code-named blackmail victims, dirty pool and dirtier politics, and a killer with a limp and a nasty way with a fondue skewer. Bury It Deep features "excellent hard-boiled writing" according to The Daily Telegraph.
