Query: Haunting

Wambaugh is one of my favorite authors and I have read many of his books.This was my favorite.Great imagery of the Desert and generally good character development.My only complaint about the book was the all too familiar shallow bar scene that features several cops acting like idiots.The most prominent character is a detective named Sidney. His investigative technique seemed very clever and realistic.The conclusion of the book was not forshadowed and hits you like a locomotive.The story paints a very raw reality of life and the human spirit that keeps you thinking and even having dreams long after you finish.In some ways the story is a great tragedy, but it is also very touching to see the love and self sacrifice characters in the book show to a very wounded soul.
