The best at what he does
Joseph Wambaugh is one of those authors, that for one reason or the other, never fail to deliver. Yes, in his body of work there are some titles that perhaps overshadowed others, but this author can write. He knows the subject matter, and his novels are entertaining and well worth the price of admission. I like to thing of Mr. Wambaugh as the Big Honcho of the police themed novels, and that is saying a lot. His humor will catch the reader when least expect it, and the drama is never far behind. I admit that I have read all his books, some bought, some checked out, and that I welcome new releases and do not hesitate to purchase his new books, which in this case were nicely affordable. He is definitely at the top of the list when it comes to favorite writers. 4.5 Stars.
