Delta Star

A cheap hooker named Missy Moonbeam takes a fatal dive from the roof
of a sleazy hotel. But what's a Caltech phone number doing in her trick
book? And how does that connect to a dead private eye and a useless
credit card? And what does all that have to do with a Whisky-class
Russian sub and the Nobel Prize?

Join Joseph Wambaugh's ravaged cops of Rampart Station as they
follow a trail of corruption from the world of pimps and crazies to the
think-tank labs of the country's top chemistry wizards - where genius
and greed mix to create an award-winning case of murder.
