Finished We 3/2/11
Another excellent Police Procedural Novel by the author of, THE DETECTIVE. This is a very long, and multifaceted novel which involves dozens of interconnected characters. However, at the conclusion, the basic theme, and reasons for the plot are clearly understandable. Mike Gallagher is acting head of Homicide, Hollywood Division, and he was present near a particularly grisly multi-murder one morning in the Hollywood Hills. Although he is not officially on the case, and has been told to ignore it, he becomes involved in the investigation, and soon discovers that a massive cover-up is in play. As events play out over several hundred pages, we see that old California money and influence is at the center of the case. Also, a massive drug operation, a lucrative land development deal, and an international white slavery ring, all create 'layers within layers' in this exhaustive mystery.
