VICE by STEVEN J. CONTRERAS (2020)Take a walk on the wild side on the streets and inside the most secret meeting places in Hollywood.
In 1982, LAPD Officer Steven Contreras reported for his first day assigned to the vice unit. Little did he know the extent of moral depravity he would encounter—all of it hidden just under the surface. From lurking in parks and bars arranging lewd encounters to working deep undercover to infiltrate bookmaking operations and human trafficking rings, Contreras entered all of the dark places where criminals hide. Working the streets to deter prostitutes from engaging in illegal sexual encounters and covertly joining violent riots in progress to prevent the loss of life and protect the innocent, he also saw the very human cost in the faces of victimized citizens and the dedicated police officers who serve them. This is a brand new, limited edition paperback. WARNING: This book contains graphic, adult content and themes. |

Navigating the sordid world of crimes including narcotics trafficking, attempted briberies, armed robberies, larcenies, murders and rapes, Det.
