This book stands at the top as one of the best true crime stories ever written. It had been many years since I read the Onion Field and it is as exciting, relevant, poignant, funny and heartbreaking as it was the first time I read it. One of the images that has stayed with me through the decades was a description of Greg Powell, a real life character that could easily have been a fictional one in a Stephen King horror story, a psychopath with an unusually long neck. In one scene, a terrified hostage is wedged into the back seat of small car and ordered not to move as Greg Powell is driving in the dark and screaming threats. When Powell turns to address the hostage, only his head swivels while the rest of his body stays facing forward. Of course, I would never have remembered this guy's name but the creepy vision of the head moving 180 degrees to peer over the headrest into the back seat is one of those scenes so vivid that even after thirty five years, I have never forgotten it. Of course, now the internet has a photo of Greg Powell as he would have looked at 25 and Wambaugh's description is exactly as I had always pictured this guy. He has a really long neck. This is a story of two young cops who stop a suspicious car and are abducted by two criminals in a scenario that results in horrific consequences. What follows is a courtroom drama that, if it were a novel, the writer would be told to go home and sober up. However, the transcripts from the actual trials are so bizarre, so sad, and so fall down funny that Joseph Wambaugh doesn't have to offer any opinions about the state of the judicial system as it excoriates itself day after day and year after year without any need for comment. More than stands the test of time. Great.
