The Onion Fields 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
