“...more ambitious than In Cold Blood and equally compelling” New York Times Hollywood 1963 One Saturday night a broken taillight leads two young LAPD cops to carry out what should be a routine traffic stop. The events that followed were nothing like routine and culminated in a bizarre execution in a deserted field outside Los Angeles. Before the night was over one man was dead, two would find themselves facing the death penalty, and one left to be tortured by guilt, shame and isolation for the remainder of his life. Considered by many to be Joseph Wambaugh's greatest work The Onion Field is a true crime classic.

Book Description Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fair. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. heavy edge wear, spine creases, chips at lower edge of cover. Hollywood. 1963. A Saturday night. A broken taillight leads to a routine traffic stop. It shouldn't have changed the lives of the four men involved, but it did. Before the night was over, one was dead, two would find themselves facing the death penalty, and the other's life would never be the same again. Fresh from a string of robberies, the car contained two desperate men who got the drop on the two LAPD cops who stopped them, seized their guns and kidnapped them. They then drove to a rural onion field where they decided to execute the cops. One officer was able to escape, but only at the price of his partner's life. Haunted by horrific memories, wracked by guilt, ostracized by his own, and repeatedly tormented by defence attorneys in one retrial after another as the defendants manipulate the quicksilver legal system, this cop suffered emotional meltdown. Wambaugh, takes us meticulously through the crime, second by second, and then tells the surviving cop's powerful and moving story: the destruction of a forgotten victim. "The Onion Field" is Joseph Wambaugh's best-known and most celebrated work. Seller Inventory # 047444
