The Choirboys - Paperback

by Joseph Wambaugh (Author)

"Each wears his cynicism like a bulletproof jockstrap--each has his horror story, his bad dream, his nightshriek. He is afraid of his friends--he is afraid of himself."--New York Times

Partners in the Los Angeles Police Department, they're haunted by terrifying dark secrets of the nightwatch-shared predawn drink and sex sessions they call choir practice.
