Críticas:
Joseph Wambaugh has been one of those necessary voices through the years sometimes angry, sometimes illuminating, often wise, always funny and fascinating and without him, the lives of many readers would be smaller. Including mine. Stephen King Joseph Wambaugh took crime fiction to a whole new level, to something beyond classification. These are stories with depth of character and humor and a cold, hard honesty that rings true with every read. I'm one of the few lucky enough to have already read a copy of "Harbor Nocturne." It's Wambaugh at his best! Michael Connelly Highly entertaining Razor-edged dialogue punctuates the vignette-filled plot. Realistic criminals are well matched by Wambaugh s equally authentic policein this darkly comic, gritty look at life on the streets. "Publishers Weekly" (starred review) Wambaugh embeds the stories he hears from cops within fiercely and ingeniously plotted mysteriesA very fast ride-along, enlivened by cop gallows humor, snarky street altercations, and an insistent pull to the dark side. "Booklist" (starred review) The sideshow acts Wambaugh presents mix legal justice and rough justice, laughter and tears, so inventively that it s hard to tell until the very end who ll come out on top. "Kirkus Reviews" The legendary Wambaugh's newest is chock-full of his trademark cop talk and offbeat side vignettes. His ability to weave a complex story together out of seemingly disparate elements lightens up some of the grittiness of big city police work.

Reseña del editor:
In the southernmost Los Angeles district of San Pedro, one of the world s busiest harbors, an unlikely pair of lovers are unwittingly caught between the two warring sides of the law. When Dinko Babich, a young longshoreman, delivers Lita Medina, a young Mexican dancer, from the harbor to a Hollywood nightclub, theirs lives are forever changed, as their love develops among the myriad cops and criminals who occupy the harbor. Suspense and tragedy are intertwined in the everyday life of the cops and residents of San Pedro Harbor, with the unflinching eye for detail and spot-on humor that only a master of the form like Joseph Wambaugh can provide. Their paths will cross with many colorful characters introduced in Wambaugh s acclaimed bestselling "Hollywood Station" series: the surfer cops known as Flotsam and Jetsam, aspiring actor Hollywood Nate Weiss, young Britney Small, along with new members of the midwatch. Humor, love, suspense and tragedy are intertwined in the everyday life of the cops and residents of San Pedro Harbor, with the unflinching eye for detail and spot-on humor that only a master of the form like Joseph Wambaugh can provide.
