"Joseph Wambaugh's many admirers will relish every wry and true-to-life scene of Hollywood Station, the latest entry in what will certainly be a lasting body of work. Welcome back, Mr. Wambaugh, and thanks for showing us, once again, how it's done." - George Pelecanos (George Pelecanos)
"Joseph Wambaugh invented the modern police novel and Hollywood Station is classic Wambaugh: brilliant characterization, impeccable plotting, stunning sense of place, and that special brand of irreverent, mordant humor for which Wambaugh holds the patent. This is the master at his best." - Jonathan Kellerman (Jonathan Kellerman)
"Oddball characters, quirky dialogue, and nimble plotting. Wambaugh is still the best in the business!" Kathy Reichs (Kathy Reichs)
vivid portrait of life in the Los Angeles Police Department...enthralling - Mail on Sunday (Mail on Sunday)
I have been waiting a long time for this book and two pages in I knew it was worth every minute, month and year. Joseph Wambaugh is the master of the modern police novel - no, scratch that, he invented the modern police novel. And Hollywood Station sets the standard once again. A story of cops working the street at the same time the streets are working the cops, it's full of the grit, humor and truth that make it impossible to put down." Michael Connelly (Michael Connelly)
"HOLLYWOOD STATION is a killer. Joseph Wambaugh set the standard with THE CHOIRBOYS and THE NEW CENTURIANS, and now he does so again. Wambaugh's trademark characters reveal today's LA cops through their strange and moving day-to-day lives - from arresting Darth Vader, to surfing at dawn, to losing a friend in the line of duty. No other writer illuminates the heart beneath the badge better or more honestly than Joseph Wambaugh. HOLLYWOOD STATION will make you laugh, cry, and keep turning pages. The master is back!" - Robert Crais (Robert Crais)
