Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Orin Boyd, a boozing, bad-boy cop, is transferred to a corrupt Long Island (N.Y.) precinct, where he accidentally discovers a payola system. "Westermann has an extraordinary eye for the tawdry and writes unbeatably funny dialogue," said PW. "Despite its occasional bumpy transitions in points of view, this . . . is a must for any devotee of raunchy burnt-out cop sagas."

This review is from: Exit Wounds (Paperback)
There is a Steven Seagal movie "based on" this book about to arrive in theaters. The previews show explosions, car crashes, Matrix-like battles...the book does not. However, the book is a powerhouse in its own right. Wambaugh-like writing, sometimes a little disjointed, is richly textured and obviously has a source in the real life experiences of the author or his friends. I will gladly pick up another work by the author, you should too.

Great cop caper,
By A Customer
This review is from: Exit Wounds (Paperback)
A cop novel by a Long Island cop, the first of two in the series, so far as I know. The sequel is The Honor Farm. Very funny, yet dark, and quite moving. A movie based on EXIT WOUNDS is coming, and crime fans who might have missed this book get one more chance to meet Police Officer Orin Boyd (Steven Seagal)up close and personal. They should take it.
