Items related to Hollywood Station
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.

Review:
A terrific book, as good as anything Wambaugh has done...although addiction is an important element in the plot, none of the substances described has the hook or the kick of Wambaugh on this form - Guardian (Guardian)
I have been waiting a long time for this book and two pages in I knew it was worth every minute, month and year - Michael Connelly (Michael Connelly)
It's truly a cause for celebration that one of the most influential and important of police crime novelists is back in the spotlight again the 21st century. Wambaugh's knowing authorial tone always informs his kinetic narrative - The Rough Guide to Crime (Guide to Crime)
Violent, funny and moving...hugely enjoyable - The Times (The Times)
Wambaugh is the best in the business - Kathy Reichs (Kathy Reichs)
Wambaugh's back and better than ever - Independent on Sunday (Independent on Sunday)

Further reviews for Hollywood Station:
`deliriously entertaining fiction is rich in incident, anecdote and,
especially, great characters...there is a gritty reality to all his work
and in Hollywood Station you get the strong tang of authenticity in the
often scabrous stories it tells...there is much humour in the
novel...Wambaugh introduces us to an engaging multiracial mix of cynics and
romantics...it all feels real and what's most impressive is that although
this is Wambaugh's 11th novel it has as much zest as his first.' -

realised characters and realistic dialogue laced with black humour.' -
Sunday Telegraph

novels of the year...This is a novel of such intense warmth and
humour...Gritty, absorbing and utterly compelling' - Shotsmag
