Wambaugh's tale of Hollywood cops trying to solve the murder of a bigtime movie producer is, as usual, peopled with burnt-out cops along with various crooks and losers. It's also larded with black humor and an underlying nihilism best taken in small doses.

The Glitter Dome is the watering hole of four sets of police partners. They work the amoral Hollywood scene. A major studio head is murdered. Very good book
