Most people who've read it think it's a work of fiction from a guy with a fantastic imagination, but actually it's not fiction at all. I tell those people that it's "95% truth with 5% embellishment for humor's sake." This autobiography covers more than 50 years, from the time I was four and was run over by a car and dragged along a Chicago street, to the present day. If there had to be a central theme, it would be the story of growing up in a dysfunctional family with nine children during the 50s and 60s.

What do you suppose would happen if, through a series of unfortunate events, you found yourself trapped in an asylum and couldn't get out again? Alma, our main character in this bizarre tale, finds herself in just such a predicament. Now she's on the run, down the halls and corridors of Pine Haven Sanitarium with a tall, husky orderly in white hot on her heels. She finds refuge in one resident's room but soon wishes she'd stayed to face the orderly.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. You've lost your job and your family needs money. You've exhausted all other options. Your last chance to bring home the bacon is to holdup a tavern and its patrons. As you wait in their restroom, trying to muster up the courage, two other robbers come in and proceed to rob your tavern. This is the last straw. Time for action.

Penelope was a plain, unassuming woman that nobody noticed. Her job was going nowhere. Enter Debbie, her new co-worker at the insurance company where Penelope had gone unnoticed for nearly three years. Debbie's going places in the company, and fast. Why? Because she saved her money and got breast implants. Once Penelope saw what those implants did for Debbie, she decided to have the operation herself. One way or another, she would get noticed. Be careful what you wish for, Penelope. Attention may not be all that it's cracked up to be.

What if nothing could hurt you? What if no one could beat you up? What if, no matter what you tried, you couldn't die? I guess you'd consider yourself to be invincible, wouldn't you. And if that became the case, how would it affect your attitude, your confidence, your outlook on life and how you viewed other people? And would it be all it's cracked up to be? Listen and find out.

Meanwhile, Matt takes the case of a man who wants to locate a former inmate of San Quentin prison - a man he shared a cell with for nearly three years. Matt has warned this client that if he wants to find his former cellmate to do him bodily harm, then he'd better find himself another private investigator.

This is not your typical Cooper story. That is, the main character in this story, Eddie Heller, crosses paths with Matt Cooper but the story is really about Eddie and his quest to become a cop in Hollywood during the 1930s.

• 3). "California or Bust" (Pickpockets move to Hollywood and pick the wrong people to rob).

I've bundled five Matt Cooper stories together here from the 1948 era. They were written sequentially and flow together almost as a single novel.
