Hollywood Station

By: Joseph Wambaugh

Narrated by: Adam Gruper

Outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Batman has assaulted Spider-Man. Marilyn Monroe reported the crime and three Elvises witnessed it. It's business as usual for the cops out of Hollywood Station. But while they deal with the costumed crack-heads, prostitutes, purse snatchers, and ordinary lunatics that haunt the boulevards, in the streets behind the lights and crowds, the real Los Angeles simmers, never far from boiling point. But add a diamond robbery, the Russian mafia, and a cluelessly ambitious glass freak and something has got to give.© Joseph Wamburgh; (P) Clipper Audio

"Terrific characterization." ( Kirkus Reviews)

great listen

Entertaining and amusing, good characterisation with an underlying thread.
