Not since Joseph Wambaugh's best-selling "The Onion Field" has
there been a true police story as fascinating, as totally gripping
as . . . "Lines And Shadows." The media hailed them as heroes.
Others denounced them as lawless renegades. A squad of tough cops
called the Border Crime Task Force. A commando team sent to patrol
the snake-infested no-man's-land south of San Diego. Not to
apprehend the thousands of illegal aliens slipping into the U.S.,
but to stop the ruthless bandits who preyed on them
nightly--relentlessly robbing, raping and murdering defenseless
men, women and children. The task force plan was simple. They would
disguise themselves as illegal aliens. They would confront the
murderous shadows of the night. Yet each time they walked into the
violent blackness along the border, they came closer to another
boundary line--a fragile line within each man. and crossing it
meant destroying their sanity and their lives.
"With each book, it seems, Mr. Wambaugh's skill as a writer
increases . . . . In "Lines And Shadows" he gives an off-trail,
action-packed true account of police work and the intimate lives of
policemen that, for my money, is his best book yet."-- "The New
York Times Book Review."
"A saga of courage, craziness, brutality and humor . . . . One
of his best books, comparable to "The Onion Field" for storytelling
and revelatory power."-- "Chicago Sun-Times"
