NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLSER тАв┬атАЬThis is vintage Wambaugh, a rollicking and ribald tale, laced with black humor.тАЭтАФThe San Diego Union-Tribune
Harbor cops Fortney and Leeds have a good time patrolling San DiegoтАЩs Mission Bay, scopingout body-sculpted beauties on pleasure craft, rescuing boating bozos whoтАЩve run aground, and haulingin the occasional floater.
But now their days are anything but typical, for theAmericaтАЩs Cup regattas have come to town and San Diego swarms with sailors, schemers, spies, and saboteurs,and the cuppies who want to love them. ItтАЩs a randy cuppie named Blaze who tweaks their cop instincts thatsomethingтАЩs not quite right on the waterfrontтАФand itтАЩsBlaze who sets off a bizarre criminal trail that wouldbe hilarious if it didnтАЩt wind up just as nasty asit gets, with a pair of murders right on the eve of thebiggest sailing race of all.
