Ever since the publication of THE NEW CENTURIONS in 1971, the L.A. police procedural has not been the same. Joseph Wambaugh made a splash with that, his debut novel, and has been consistently publishing remarkably honest and true-to-the-streets books ever since. In HOLLYWOOD MOON, his 14th book focusing on the characters at the Hollywood Station, Officer Dana Vaughn, her partner Nate Weiss, and the crazy surfer-cops known as Flotsam and Jetsam are hunting the perpetrator of a string of violent attacks.
In the wake of reports about a young man who has been attacking women, LAPD cops Flotsam and Jetsam encounter a suspicious pair of individuals with ties to a deadly, high-tech organization that pits its own con artists against one another. By the best-selling author of Hollywood Station.

"Where would the reader encounter such off-the-wall types except in a Wambaugh romp? And what other author could present cops, street people, and career criminals with such deadeye credibility?....Only Wambaugh....Crimes escalate and fun abounds." (starred review)
