Title: Tattered phrases; interminable progression
Review: I began thinking this book was a parody of a detective novel and then found I just had to finish it to find out exactly what drove Mr. Wambaugh to fall so far from the excellence of his watershed book, The Onion Field. I never discovered his motivation, but stand convinced that this work is over-researched and poorly presented with a combination of well-worn detective book phrases and redundant event coverage. I cannot recommend this book to any serious reader.
