|summary=Freaky things happen in Hollywood ''it's f***ing Hollywood'' being the local cops general explanation for all of them. But even they are a little taken aback, when one of them is recruited to an undercover op purely on the strenght of his prosthetic foot. Meanwhile in San Pedro a Romeo & Juliet story starts to play out... Cracking crime drama, with a sharp note of realism and an undercurrent of black humour. Strangely satisfying.

By way of a prelude to the Nocturne, I should offer a heads-up, that the review copy I received is titled ''Nocturne'' rather than ''Harbor (or Harbour) Nocturne''. It isn't marked as a proof or advance copy, and having stumbled across other reviews whilst I was reading it (hard to avoid when it makes the Sunday supplements) I'm fairly sure that there are no real changes other than the title. Indeed, one of the jacket illustrations that Google throws up matches mine, but for the additional word – in the English spelling.
