«The Choirboys» is the crime novel by Joseph Wambaugh, published by Orion in paperback (368 pages, in English).
Los Angeles police officers, night patrol partners, try to keep their sanity in a maddening environment. To unwind, they hold what they call «choir practice» in MacArthur Park: drinking and sex sessions more dangerous than street violence. Wambaugh, a former cop, blends black humour and raw realism.
Volume 10 of the Crime Masterworks collection. The novel was originally published in 1976; this edition, in 2002.
For fans of crime fiction and police procedurals, and for readers who appreciate black humour and satire.
