Harbour Nocturne by Joseph Wambaugh
Ex Longshoreman and taxi driver Dink Babich tries to protect a dancer after she witnesses something that links her to the murder of 13 people.
[The] stories of real-life policing are odd, tragic, hilarious and always compelling.. A worthy addition to the canon of the author known as the father of the modern police novel, Harbour Nocturne should not be missed' * Observer *
Joseph Wambaugh is on fine form in Harbour Nocturne * Sunday Telegraph *
I am a huge fan of Joseph Wambaugh – the former L.A.P.D. detective named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America. Wambaugh writes the best Hollywood cop novels – gritty, outrageous, hysterically funny, sad and obviously based on his crazy life as an L.A.P.D. detective. He has it down pat; the characters leap off the pages and take you on a raunchy ride. Wambaugh's books never disappoint -- Jackie Collins
The always hilarious antics of Hollywood's finest * Irish Times *
His books are so good they make me feel like quitting my job and doing something else -- Lee Child
Wambaugh at his best! -- Michael Connelly
Without Wambaugh, the lives of many readers would be smaller. Including mine -- Stephen King
