Steven Harbin (stevenharbin) You might want to read the first two in the series Alice, it's not necessary to read them in order, but they do follow each other chronolgically.
They are:
Hollywood Station A Novel by Joseph Wambaugh Hollywood Station: A Novel by Joseph Wambaugh
then
Hollywood Crows A Novel by Joseph Wambaugh Hollywood Crows: A Novel.
I'll be interested in hearing what you think of them. I think they're pretty good.

Thanks Steven, I am always reading stuff out of order all the time. It would sure be strange to read something in the correct sequence, LOL!
