The author is skilled at creating characters that feel all-too-human and act in ways you'd expect beings such as they would act. Naturally, he tries to fix the problem, and complications ensue. Tess Binder, a Newport Beach serial trophy wife, tracks him down at the dive bar he haunts and winds him up in a relationship based equally on alcohol and sex, then tells him someone's trying to kill her. Winston Farlowe, the protagonist - it's impossible to call him "the hero" - is drinking his disability pension after being cut loose from the Newport Beach PD after a line-of-service injury. Joe Wambaugh is best known for his brutally honest early works centered on the LAPD - The Blue Knight, The New Centurions and some of his other 1970s novels.
