Hollywood Station - Softcover

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.' -
Observer

`...worth the wait...the story races along at a cracking pace, with vividly
realised characters and realistic dialogue laced with black humour.' -
Sunday Telegraph

`Joseph Wambaugh is back with aplomb...set to become one of THE must-read
novels of the year...This is a novel of such intense warmth and
humour...Gritty, absorbing and utterly compelling' - Shotsmag
