Fear Will Do It, hailed by the Birmingham Post as "a superb example of the best American crime writing; vivid, fast moving, uncompromising..." finds Cooper living with his Puerto Rican girlfriend Diana. Diana has a past, and out of it comes Tommy Thorne, an itinerant guitarist who has found easier ways to make money than by playing music. Tommy needs someone as cut-out in a blackmail scam, and Diana's elected because Tommy's got the goods on her own youthful indiscretions. When the scam blows up and both the cops and the target's hired guns are on Diana's trail, Cooper has to move fast and strike hard.
