Hang Loose — Basil Copper

When laconic L.A. private eye Mike Faraday agrees to nightclub owner Jerry Verne's request to take over the investigation of a five-year-old gangland killing of a man called Dinelli, it seems a pointless exercise. But many people seem to be interested, and Mike becomes involved in a trail of mayhem and murder concerning the theft of ten gold statuettes, worth half a million dollars, before the killer of Dinelli is finally unmasked.
