Welcome!
Welcome to SteveCopling.com, home of Plano Police lieutenant and Texas crime fiction novelist Steve Copling. Steve has published two books, The Listener and The Shooting Season, both of which are out of print. However, The Shooting Season is still available in limited supply from some online retailers including Barnes & Noble and Amazon. He is currently working on his third novel, Transformation. 
The ListenerDuring a rare Texas freeze, Detectives Greg Rush and Rick Chinbroski investigate the discovery of a woman found dead in her bathtub. She is encased in ice with a cellular phone positioned against her ear. A note left at the scene of the crime leads the detectives to determine that they are not the only ones on the killer's trail. A woman, it seems, is desperate to help the police catch him... but only when she decides it's time. More notes, written in an obscure American dialect, follow, leading the detectives to California, where the woman reveals her identity... and that of the monster they are hunting. 
The Shooting SeasonWhen a serial sniper hits Plano, Texas, to begin his fourth annual shooting season, homicide detectives Rush and Chinbroski team with the FBI to hunt the killer. After the FBI's faulty investigative tactics force Rush to strike out on his own, he does so unaware that his independent investigation plays right into the shooter's hands. Despite being hunted by police agencies from around the country, no one understands that Plano is the shooter's last stop, that Plano's top homicide team was the target all along, and that a thirty-year-old debt won't be paid in full until the last shot has been fired.
