About
When LAPD cops Hollywood Nate and Bix Rumstead find themselves caught up with bombshell Margot Aziz, they think they're just having some fun. But in Hollywood, nothing is ever what it seems. To them, Margot is a harmless socialite, stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce from the nefarious nightclub owner Ali Aziz. What Nate and Bix don't know is that Margot's no helpless victim: the femme fatale is setting them both up so that she can pull off the perfect murder and walk away with her ex-husband's ill-won fortune. But Ms. Aziz isn't the only one with a deadly plan.

Reviews
"Through the eyes of an eccentric collection of beat cops, Wambaugh gives a compelling picture of what policing is like under the federal monitor appointed to oversee the real LAPD after the Rampart corruption scandal."
Publishers Weekly
"Classic Wambaugh cop stories, culled from actual cops, delivered in inimitable style. Wambaugh's acid take on the post-Rodney King LAPD and the resultant consent decree and rule by bureaucrats is worth reading in itself. Another terrific Wambaugh ride-along."
Booklist (starred review)
"Christian Rummel's roles on Law & Order were good training for narrating this gritty tale of community relations officersin 'La-La Land.' He excels at the flip cop jargon as well as a variety of ethnic accents. Wambaugh's latest novel in audio may leave listeners cynical about the LAPD, but they'll be enthusiastic over Rummel's performance."
