Synopsis:
One of a pair of kidnapped L.A. police officers is killed in a field, and the other survives guilt-stricken while the wheels of justice become mired.

Based on a Joseph Wambaugh novel, this is another of the author's downhearted portraits of law enforcement and its human cost, only drearier and more protracted than most.
