He joined the LAPD in 1960 after three years in the Marine Corps, and rose to the rank of detective sergeant before retiring in 1974. His first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe New Centurions\u003c\/i\u003e (1971), was a quick success, drawing praise for its realistic action and intelligent characterization, and was adapted into a feature film starring George C. Scott. He followed it up with \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Knight\u003c\/i\u003e (1972), which was adapted into a mini-series starring William Holden and Lee Remick. Since then Wambaugh has continued writing about the LAPD. He has been credited with a realistic portrayal of police officers, showing them not as superheroes but as men struggling with a difficult job, a depiction taken mainstream by television's \u003ci\u003ePolice Story\u003c\/i\u003e, which Wambaugh helped create in the mid-1970s. In addition to novels, Wambaugh has written nonfiction, winning a special Edgar Award for 1974's \u003ci\u003eThe Onion Field\u003c\/i\u003e, an account of the longest criminal trial in California history. His most recent work is the novel \u003ci\u003eHollywood Moon\u003c\/i\u003e (2010). \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mysteriouspress.Com\/Open Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44456170848493,"sku":"9781453234877","price":25.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_15d86441-b620-4bbb-82dc-1569671b67d0.jpg?v=1700396513","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-glitter-dome-9781453234877","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
