The Glitter Dome is another stellar entry in Joseph Wambaugh's chronicles of the LAPD. The eponymous institution is a watering hole for the group of cops we get to know almost strictly through their day-to-day action on the job. Hilarious at many points, like all Wambaugh books, however, it's built on a dark foundation of desperate sorrow and human suffering. Truly, there are few writers who cut closer to the bone when exploring the truth about human nature. ( )

Wambaugh is uneven. Some of his books are terrific, this one isn't one of them. Get Hollywood Station instead. ( )

IT'S MURDER IN HOLLYWOOD

Within the smoke-filled bar, cheap thrills carry a heavy price. Payday groupies rub against cops drowning in triple shots. And skull-cracking homicide detectives like Welborn and Mackay kick around cases from softcore porn to hardcore murder.
How could a truly successful studio boss - a starmaker! with a billion-dollar grin stop two .38 slugs with his face?
Haiku summary
