The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELER - A fascinating account of a double tragedy: one physical, the other psychological.--Truman Capote

This is the frighteningly true story of two young cops and two young robbers whose separate destinies fatally cross one March night in a bizarre execution in a deserted Los Angeles field.

A complex story of tragic proportions . . . more ambitious than In Cold Blood and equally compelling --The New York Times

Once the action begins it is difficult to put the book down. . . . Wambaugh's compelling account of this true story is destined for the bestseller lists.--Library Journal

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.
