Hollywood Station

By: Joseph Wambaugh

Narrated by: Kerry Shale

While the cops out of Hollywood Station deal with the costumed crackheads, prostitutes, purse snatchers, tweakers and everyday lunatics that haunt the precinct's famous boulevards, in the streets behind the lights and crowds, the real Los Angeles simmers, never far from the boiling point.

Under-staffed and over-worked, bound by red tape and hobbled by political correctness, the men and women of Hollywood Station hold the front line in LA's epicentre. But add a diamond robbery, the Russian mafia and a cluelessly ambitious...glass freak, and something has got to give.

Critic reviews

"Violent, funny, and moving....Hugely enjoyable." (The Times)
"Wambaugh's back and better than ever." (Independent on Sunday)
"A terrific book...although addiction is an important element in the plot, none of the substances described has the hook or the kick of Wambaugh on this form." (Guardian)
