The Onion Field
By Joseph Wambaugh
Published 1973.
ISBN-10: 0385341598
ISBN-13: 978-0385341592
Description:
This is the
frighteningly true story of two young cops and two young robbers whose separate
destinies fatally cross one March night in a bizarre execution in a deserted
Los Angeles field.
Joseph Wambaugh. A
former LAPD detective and perennial bestselling author, he is the cops’ poet
laureate, and this is the true story he was born to tell.
“A
distinguished ‘factual novel.’ A fascinating account of a double tragedy: one
physical, the other psychological.”
– Truman Capote.
Orson Scott Card, on inspiration:
Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day.
The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them.
Most people don't see any.
- Orson Scott Card.
