Basil Frederick Albert Copper (5 February 1924 – 3 April 2013) was an English writer and former journalist and newspaper editor. He became a full-time writer in 1970. In addition to horror and detective fiction, Copper was perhaps best known for his series of Solar Pons stories continuing the character created as a tribute to Sherlock Holmes by August Derleth. Copper's interests included swimming, gardening, travel, sailing and historic film material. One of England's leading film collectors, his private archive contained over one thousand titles (at 1989).

FDLE agent ill Tasker is still smarting from a runin with the FBI that almost got him killed, when he reluctantly teams up with them again on a case involving a stolen Stinger missile. The op goes smoothly enough (though the feds take all the credit, what else is new?), but something about the whole setup just doesn't feel right to him. He pokes around a bit - and stirs up more trouble than a nest of rattlesnakes: with his boss, with the FBI, with the ATF, and worst of all, with a certain gentleman who loves to see things blow up ... bigger and bigger things, as it turns out. He's never killed anybody yet, but if this FDLE agent keeps interfering - well, there's always a first time, isn't there? "Born mixes believable characters, a fast-moving story, crisp dialogue and a nice blend fo humor," wrote the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. "This is just the beginnig of what should be a long career."
