    For a cop, a night on the job means killing time and trying not to get killed. If you're in Hollywood Division, it also means dealing with some ofthe most desperate criminals anywhere. Nowthe violent robbery of a Hollywood jewelry store quickly connects to a Russian nightclub and an undercover operation gone wrong, and the sergeant they call the Oracle and his squad of quirky cops have to make sense of it all. From a detective who never shuts up about the movies, to a single mother packing a breast pump, to partners who'd rather be surfing, they'll take you on a raucous ride through a gritty city where no one is safe. Especially not the cops.
