A simple tale of everyday police work in Los Angeles: death, sex, drugs, girls and a lizard.

Flotsam's story

- One legged dude. Jetsam surfs like he only ever needed one good leg. And the babes love him.

Jetsam's story

- Difficult not to get drawn in when a massage from Ivana can turn your muscles into risotto. She had wanted to give me a special time. I don’t know if I would have survived to tell the tale.

Dinko Babich's story

- Mamma really liked her. I guess she figured out what Lita had done before she came to LA didn’t matter. She liked her because for her I was going to get my act together.

Hector Cozzo's story

- The Armenian crew didn’t like me being on their turf. They weren’t going to quarrel with Mr Markov. I had it made.

Lita Medina Flores' story

- He could see Catalina Island in the distance every time he went down to the Port; talked about it as his piece of Paradise. We could have shared that dream.
