The author is a former Los Angeles Police Sergeant, Hollywood Detective and Lawyer. He and wife Dee are retired to Three Rivers, California. HOLLYWOOD DICKS IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK Hollywood Dicks is LAPD slang for Hollywood Detectives. Sergeant Tom Gay has turned lawyer, but inside he's still the same corner cutting Hollywood Dick with a fondness for the opposite sex. He is called to represent former fellow detectives charged with corruption. Teamed with suspended Rampart Dicks Traci Timmons, Tom makes good use of inside knowledge to get his clients off the hook. He also earns himself a one-year suspension from the California Bar and a divorce from his long suffering wife.
