Fiction. Mystery. HTML: Ex-cop Winnie Farlowe has been retired from police work due to a back injury, and has been fighting the bottle instead of bad guys ever since. But suddenly he meets Tess Binder, a stunning, three-time divorcée from the Balboa Bay Club where wallets are fat, bikinis are skimpy, and cosmetic surgery is one sure way to a billionaire's bank account. She believes her father's suicide was actually a murder and wants Winnie to help her prove it. Death and chicanery flourish amidst ranches, mansions, and yachting parties. Publishers Weekly called it "comic and deeply moving . . . a stupendous climax . . . virtually sure to be hailed as Wambaugh's best." And the San Diego Union-Tribune said, "a profoundly serious work and in reading it I laughed my head off."… (mer)

I almost didn't keep reading this after the first 20 pages- all the characters seemed caricatures and the jokes seemed bad 50's noir cop jokes. But I eventually decided it was kinda fun, and the ending wasn't as bad as I feared it would be. basically just a mediocre genre novel, a light beach read. (

Newport Beach, yachts, drunkenness, dissolution, retired cops, murder. Anything can be rectified by someone who is drunk enough to try anything once. (

This was disappointing. I used to really like Wambaugh and this just didn't meet my expectation - although - I DID like the ending. (

Calif. drunk ex-cop - Winnie gets tied in a scheme w/ beautiful girl to get $ - he's tricked - good

California's Gold Coast is the home of boat parades, middle-aged women in bikinis, and Winnie Farlowe, a 40-year-old ex-cop with a strong interest in drinking. But when a beautiful and spirited three-time divorce e introduces him to her world of clubs and mansions--and the mystery of her father's death--he soon finds himself running for his life.

Joseph Wambaugh has written a lot of fiction around police work, something he knows well from his experience as a police officer prior to becoming a writer. I have read his first four books but not any of his work for at least 25 years. The Golden Orange is a work that stands well with the early work in which he made his reputation. The storyline develops gradually and works itself out in a most surprising way. I enjoyed this book. (
