NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLSER โขย โThis is vintage Wambaugh, a rollicking and ribald tale, laced with black humor.โโThe San Diego Union-Tribune
Harbor cops Fortney and Leeds have a good time patrolling San Diegoโs Mission Bay, scopingout body-sculpted beauties on pleasure craft, rescuing boating bozos whoโve run aground, and haulingin the occasional floater.
But now their days are anything but typical, for theAmericaโs Cup regattas have come to town and San Diego swarms with sailors, schemers, spies, and saboteurs,and the cuppies who want to love them. Itโs a randy cuppie named Blaze who tweaks their cop instincts thatsomethingโs not quite right on the waterfrontโand itโsBlaze who sets off a bizarre criminal trail that wouldbe hilarious if it didnโt wind up just as nasty asit gets, with a pair of murders right on the eve of thebiggest sailing race of all.
Praise for Floaters
โThereโs only one Joe Wambaugh. Heโs a really important American writer.โโJonathan Kellerman
โ[Wambaugh] dazzles with his intimate knowledge of police life, black humor, raunchy dialogue, and a cast of nineties choirboys. . . . A copโs expertise and the literary power of a master storyteller.โโDigby Diehl, Playboy
โThe authorโs trademark sardonic writing is in full force here.โโPublishers Weekly
