My favorite author would have to be Joseph Wambaugh, though with my line of work I guess he writes about things that interest me. His first book "The Onion Field" was a true story, but then he started writing fiction based on stories he and his co-workers on LAPD lived in the 70's 80's period of time. His books are about as true to life look at the "Greatest Show on Earth" which is policing the general public. I can't remember all the titles, but the Blue Knight, the New Centurions, The Choirboys, The Glitterdome, and most of the rest were all made into movies that did not do the books justice.
