![]() ![]() ![]() Although both lovers are in their 40s, and survivors of broken unions, Tess belongs to a world as foreign to Winnie's as Tibet: the Newport Harbor's ultra-rich yachting crowd. There Tess Binder, an alluring divorcee, seeks the notorious ex-cop she wines him, dines him and takes him to bed. On probation after his latest escapade, the anti-hero avoids the place where prudence might have led him, an AA meeting, and instead rushes to join drinking buddies at a favorite saloon. When an injury ends his police career in California's Orange County, Winnie works at odd jobs-and indulges in vodka-inspired pranks. In this comic and deeply moving story, Wambaugh holds the reader a willing hostage to events in the bibulous, rowdy, daring life of Winston (Winnie) Farlowe. ![]()
