They call their sergeant the Oracle. He's a seasoned LAPD
veteran who keeps a close watch over his squad from his
understaffed office at Hollywood Station. They are: Budgie
Polk, a 27-year-old firecracker who's begrudgingly teamed
with Fausto Gamboa, the oldest, tetchiest patrol officer.
Andi McCrea, a single mom who spends her days studying at
the local community college. Wesley Drubb, a USC drop-out
who joined the force to see some action. Flotsam and
Jetsam, two aptly named surfer boys who pine after the
petite, but intrepid, Meg Takara. And Hank Driscoll, the
one who never shuts up. Together they spend their days and
nights in the city's underbelly, where a string of
seemingly unrelated events lures the cops of Hollywood
Station to their most startling case yet: Russians,
diamonds, counterfeiting, grenadesa reminder that nothing's
too horrific or twisted for Los Angeles. Here, it's
business as usual. For the first time in 20 years, Wambaugh
revisits the kind of story he tells best: life in the LAPD.
Not only have his fans been waiting for this comeback, but
readers of the new generation of crime writing will have
great interest in this book
