Hollywood Station certainly isn't your typical police division, but in Hollywood Moon the cops of that surreal place seem called upon to deal with an even greater share of weirdness than normal. A prowler has been violently attacking women, and officers 'Hollywood Nate' Weiss and the captivating Dana Vaughn are in hot pursuit, with Nate on edge because his no-nonsense, whip-smart partner has a knack for making him feel like a rookie. And there's an even darker side to the weirdness. Cue the enigmatic crook Dewey Gleason, master of disguises. Each of his many identities is crafted for the execution of some under-the-radar racket. When, with his henchmen, he hatches an audacious plan, things get very violent indeed.

With so many control freaks in Hollywood with more status and ambition than Python Studios executive Blair Tierney, can she really guide her own destiny? While others in Los Angeles want to be a star, Blair reflects the light of others. When will it be her time to shine? After meeting a British rock star auditioning for a movie at the studio where she works, the relationship gets off to a rocky start when an earthquake hits Los Angeles. Then her best friend Carolyn becomes engaged and her ex-boyfriend Brogan pitches a project, which becomes a smash hit, making him obscenely rich. On the Hollywood "food chain" of success, each of her coworkers seems to surpass her, and Blair's quest for happiness begins to teeter when a Python starlet is murdered. DANIEL COX takes us on a wild romp from the studio back lot to the Pacific Coast Highway where stars and star makers battle for adoration, power, survival and success.

En la comisaría de Hollywood existe el proverbio de que la luna llena hace salir a la bestia que llevan dentro los ciudadanos de la zona. Lo cual es mucho decir en este territorio lleno de travestis adictos desquiciados por la droga y aspirantes a actor desesperados —a veces hasta el extremo del asesinato— por alcanzar la fama. Aquí se mueve Dewey Gleason, maestro del disfraz. Cada uno de sus muchos personajes está pensado para la ejecución de un tipo concreto de discreta estafa organizada, basada en robar identidades y obtener altos beneficios. Gleason inspira temor a sus secuaces, un negro sofisticado, de formas refinadas y largas rastas, y un motero tatuado de aspecto peligroso... En la comisaría los agentes nunca saben qué les deparará la próxima patrulla. Un merodeador ha atacado violentamente a varias mujeres y los agentes Hollywood Nate Weiss y la cautivadora Dana Vaughn le pisan los talones, mientras Nate está sumamente irritado porque su compañera tiene una gran habilidad para hacerlo sentirse siempre como un novato. Al mismo tiempo, un par de policías conocidos por sus apodos, Flotsam y Jetsam, tan famosos por detener delincuentes como por sus exhibiciones sobre la tabla de surf, buscan a un tipo con rastas y a un matón de mirada enloquecida lleno de tatuajes. Algo más grande, más tecnológico y mucho más mortífero está a punto de desencadenarse. Después de una serie vertiginosa de giros, vueltas y persecuciones, los agentes descubrirán que han dado con una compleja red criminal en la que los delincuentes no pueden estar seguros de quién engaña a quién y en la que el cumplimiento del deber se cobra el más oneroso de los peajes.

In a super follow-up to Hollywood Station, Wambaugh returns to the beat he knows best, taking readers on a darkly funny ride-along with a cast of flawed LAPD cops and eccentric lowlifes you won't forget. When LAPD cops Hollywood Nate and Bix Rumstead find themselves caught up with bombshell Margot Aziz, they think they're just having some fun. But in Hollywood, nothing is ever what it seems. To them, Margot is a harmless socialite, stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce from the nefarious nightclub-owner Ali Aziz. What Nate and Bix don't know is that Margot's no helpless victim: the femme fatale is setting them both up. But Ms. Aziz isn't the only one with a deadly plan.

For the streetwise cops of Hollywood Station, dealing with the panhandlers, prostitutes and costumed crackheads of the boulevard is all in a day's work. If they're lucky, surf-mad partners Flotsam and Jetsam can spend the morning calming the crazies and the afternoon policing the babes on the beach. But beyond the lights and the crowds on the Walk of Fame, the real Los Angeles simmers dangerously. And when things heat up, even veterans like Viv Daley will see things that they'll wish they could forget. In the hills above town, it's a different world, where sports-car-studded driveways lead to sprawling villas stuffed with clothes and jewels. Up here, pickings are easy for the Bling Ring - a group of photogenic young addicts who knock off celebrity cribs to fund their next fix. Even experienced cop and wannabe filmstar Nate "Hollywood" Weiss has struck gold in the hills. Leona Bruger, wife of an Industry Mover and Shaker, has taken a fancy to him. Although he knows the Hollywood maxim - you don't pet the cougars, especially if they belong to the boss - Nate reckons that a leg-over might be just the leg-up he needs. What Weiss doesn't realise is that his new flame's crooked art-dealer is about to pull a forgery scam right under his nose. And when a pair of desperate junkies hit on a foolproof plan to pay their drug debts with a stolen painting, things get very complicated indeed...

Hollywood is not all movies, fame and fortune, its underside is dirty, drugged up and criminal with a capital C. Under the watchful eye of their veteran sergeant, known as the Oracle, the men and women of the LAPD working out of Hollywood Station are the ones on the front line. The Hollywood Station squad are as different as the streets that they police - Budgie Polk is a 27-year-old firecracker who is begrudgingly teamed with Fausto Gamboa, the oldest, tetchiest patrol officer. Andi McCrea is a single mom, Wesley Drubb a university drop-out desperate to see some action. Flotsam and Jetsam are two aptly named surfer boys who pine for the petite - but intrepid - Mag Takara. Together they spend their days and nights in the city's underbelly, where a string of seemingly unrelated events lure them to their most startling case yet.

Melodrama is the foundation of American cinema. It is, however, a poorly understood term. While it is a pervasive and persuasive dramatic mode, it is not tied to any specific moral or ideological system. It is not a singular genre; rather, it operates as a "genre generating machine" capable of determining the aesthetics and structure of the drama within many genres. Melodrama centers the conflict around the clash between good and evil and provides a sense of poetic justice--but the specific values embedded in notions of good and evil are determined by the culture, and they shift from nation to nation, region to region, and period to period. This book explores the "populist" westerns of the 1930s, the propaganda films that followed the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the popularity of Sax Rohmer's master villain Fu Manchu. "Melodramas of passion" and film noir also offer a challenge to melodrama with its seemingly alienated protagonists and downbeat endings. Yet, with few exceptions, Hollywood was able to assimilate these genres within its melodramatic imagination.
