BOMC alternate first serial to Los Angeles Magazine. Californias Gold Coast is the home of boat parades, middle-aged women in bikinis, and Winnie Farlowe, a 40-year-old ex-cop with a strong interest in. The action quickens, rushing to a stupendous climax that concludes a novel virtually sure to be hailed as Wambaugh's best. The poor guy can't believe his luck, but trusts in his lady's ardent love, never suspecting the scam she plans for Win nie him as she holds him in thrall. Although both lovers are in their 40s, and survivors of broken unions, Tess belongs to a world as foreign to Winnie's as Tibet: the Newport Harbor's ultra-rich yachting crowd. There Tess Binder, an alluring divorcee, seeks the notorious ex-cop she wines him, dines him and takes him to bed. Writer Joseph Wambaugh was born in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on January 22, 1937. On probation after his latest escapade, the anti-hero avoids the place where prudence might have led him, an AA meeting, and instead rushes to join drinking buddies at a favorite saloon. When an injury ends his police career in California's Orange County, Winnie works at odd jobs-and indulges in vodka-inspired pranks. In this comic and deeply moving story, Wambaugh holds the reader a willing hostage to events in the bibulous, rowdy, daring life of Winston (Winnie) Farlowe.
