What is Hollywood Crows : A Novel about?

*Starred Review* Wambaugh turns his Mars lights on perhaps the most unlikely of subjects: a Hollywood patrol division called CRO (Community Relations Office) made up of safe, contented, non-street-working cops who focus on quality-of-life issues. But, naturally, in Wambaughs telling, life in this coveted divisionwhose members are known as Crowsoverruns with slapstick and social satire. The narrative veers between the Crows and the zany bunch of street cops at Hollywood Station (including surfer cops Flotsam and Jetsam) who contend with the inhabitants of what they call Americas kook capital. Bridging the gap between the real cops and the envied, despised Crows is street cop Hollywood Nate (so called because he is forever trying to break into the movie business), who gets an assignment to the Crows and finds himself in the throes of violent lust over Margot, a socialite separated from an edgy nightclub owner. Margot has plans for Nate and his partner, pulling them into a scheme so that she can walk away from her marriage and a perfect murder. We get this plot from Nates and Margots viewpoints. We also get classic Wambaugh cop stories, culled from actual cops
