The Delta Star by Joseph Wambaugh

L.A. Wambaugh-style. A world of cops on the rocks with a twist of murder.

A cheap hooker named Missy Moonbeam takes a fatal dive from the roof of a sleazy hotel. But what's a Caltech phone number doing in her trick book? And how does that connect to a dead private eye and a useless credit card? And what does all that have to do with a Whisky-class Russian sub and the Nobel Prize?

Join Joseph Wambaugh's ravaged cops of Rampart Station as they follow a trail of corruption from the world of pimps and crazies to the think-tank labs of the country's top chemistry wizards-where genius and greed mix to create an award-winning case of murder.

"A page-turner . . . This is a must-read for Wambaugh fans."-USA Today

Former LAPD detective sergeant Joseph Wambaugh is the popular author of seventeen previous novels and nonfiction books, including The Choirboys and The Onion Field. The Mystery Writers of America recognized him Grand Master in 2004. He resides in the state of California.
