Description
From the legendary #1 New York Times best-selling author known as "the father of the modern police novel" comes a brilliant, panoramic tale of crime and corruption in Los Angeles.
Joseph Wambaugh, former LAPD detective, multiple New York Times best-selling author and MWA Grand Master, has produced one of the outstanding books of the year in his riveting new novel, Harbor Nocturne. Set in the southernmost Los Angeles district of San Pedro, one of the world busiest harbors, an unlikely pair of lovers are unwittingly caught between the two warring sides of the law. When Dinko Babich, a young longshoreman, delivers Lita Medina, a young Mexican dancer, from the harbor to a Hollywood nightclub, their lives are forever changed. Their paths will cross with many of the colorful characters introduced in Wambaugh's acclaimed best-selling Hollywood Station series: the surfer cops know as "Flotsam and Jetsam," aspiring actor "Hollywood Nate" Weiss, young Britney Small, along with new members of the midwatch. These characters, with seemingly nothing in common, will collide as they gamely cope with the weirdness and wackiness of Hollywood.
Suspense and tragedy are intertwined within the everday life of the cops and criminals and residents of San Pedro Harbor, with the unflinching eye for detail and spot-on humor that only a master of the form like Joe Wambaugh can provide.
