What They're Saying
Critics Review
“With each book, it seems, Mr. Wambaugh’s skill as a writer increases… . In Lines and Shadows he gives an off-trail, action-packed true account of police work and the intimate lives of policemen that, for my money, is his best book yet.”—The New York Times Book Review
“A saga of courage, craziness, brutality and humor… . One of his best books, comparable to The Onion Field for storytelling and revelatory power.”—Chicago Sun-Times
