A #1 New York Times bestselling author, Joseph
Wambaugh invented the modern police procedural
thriller. Now in his long-awaited return to the LAPD, he
deploys his bone-deep understanding of cops' lives--and a
lethal sense of humor--in a stunning new novel.For a cop, a
night on the job means killing time and trying not to get
killed. If you're in Hollywood Division, it also means
dealing with some of the most desperate criminals anywhere.
Now the violent robbery of a Hollywood jewelry store
quickly connects to a Russian nightclub and an undercover
operation gone wrong, and the sergeant they call the Oracle
and his squad of quirky cops have to make sense of it all.
From an officer who dreams of stardom, to a single mother
packing a breast pump, to partners who'd rather be surfing,
they'll take you on a raucous ride through a gritty city
where no one is safe. Especially not the cops.
