What SHE doesn’t know is that Aziz has replaced her sleeping pills with a poison. What Nate and Bix don’t know is that Margot’s no helpless victim: she’s setting them both up so that she can get away with the perfect murder and still stand to inherit her ex husbands’s ill won fortune. To them, Margot is a harmless socialite, stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce from the nefarious bar owner, Ali Aziz.
But in Hollywood, nothing is ever what it seems. When Nate and Bix Rumstead a supposedly upstanding cop with serious sobriety issues find themselves caught up with bombshell Margot Aziz, they think they’re just having some fun. Treacle, but the setting is the same Hollywood: ‘ America‘s nut capital’ and some favorite personalities are still around.
In Wambaugh’s gripping new audiobook about life in the country’s most sensational police force, the beloved Oracle has been replaced by thin lipped Sgt. From their headquarters at Hollywood Station, they see the glamour city for what it is: a field of land mines, where the mundane is dangerous and the dangerous is mundane. They spend their days in patrol cars and their nights in the underbelly of a city that never sleeps. Fausto Gamboa is the tetchy veteran, and Hollywood Nate is the one who never shuts up about movies. There’s Budgie Polk, a twenty something firecracker with a four month old at home, and Wesley Drubb, a rich boy who joined the force seeking thrills. Putting the pieces together are the sergeant they call the Oracle and his squad of street cops. The robbery of a Hollywood jewelry store, complete with masks and a hand grenade, quickly connects to a Russian nightclub, an undercover operation gone bloodily wrong, and a cluelessly ambitious pair of tweakers. When you’re patrolling Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards, neither a good reputation nor the lessons of scandals past will help you keep your cool, your sanity, or your life when things heat up. If you’re a cop in Hollywood Division, it also means dealing with the most overwrought, desperate, and deluded criminals anywhere. For a cop, a night on the job means killing time and trying not to get killed.
