In Hollywood, cop who take care of community complaints rather than crime are called CRO (Community Relations Office) officers. Several Hollywood
Crows become involved in more than just peacekeeping when a divorcing couple decide to up the ante in their divorce.

Following on from Hollywood Station, several of the cops are back patrolling the streets of the glamorous and not so glamorous Hollywood as crime, big and small, occurs minute by minute. Each character, from Flotsam and Jetsam to Officer Bix are all well crafted and likable, and perhaps more importantly, believable. The story is filled with little details and comments, that lend more realism to the story without making it a blow by blow account of life on the thin blue line.

The plot is surrounded by funny asides and sad occurrences, but each adding something to the story without confusing issues. Hollywood Crows is a great cop book.
