Sometimes the stories are funny, sometimes they are sad and at others they are terribly tragic.ĭon’t look for anything other than a dated portrait of policing in Los Angeles circa the 1970’s and an entertaining novel. A group of police officers convene an unofficial support group/drunken bacchanal in the park at Echo Lake where they vent about their job as police officers.Įach chapter focuses on a pair of officers and the things that occur on their shifts. This is the 1970’s and sexism, free love and political incorrectness runs rife. It is definitely a snapshot in time and given everything that has come out about the LAPD since it was written, it really speaks to the culture that existed in the past. I read this book years ago when it first came out.
