by Joseph Wambaugh Joseph Wambaugh’s latest, unabridged cop thriller won't disappoint long-time devotees or those new to his work. The story is set in the Hollywood division of the Los Angeles Police Department, where the realities of 2006 street life can complicate every policeman's job. Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards might connotate stardom, but Mr. Wambaugh paints a very detailed and realistic picture of the struggle for life in the glamour jungle called LA. The author’s latest crop of characters reflects a fast-forward from his last book on this beat in the 1970's. The plot line unfolds with the heist of a jewelry store with connections to a group of Russians in the nightclub business. The officers who have to connect the dots are a menage of newbies and veterans who bring their own baggage to the case. Brilliantly read by Adam Grupper, best known for his roles in Guys and Dolls on Broadway, in film with Two Weeks Notice, and on television in The Sopranos. This exciting new title reflects why Mr. Wambugh received the Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Award. |
