Joe Domanick

Joe Domanick is an award-winning investigative journalist and author described in the Los Angeles Times as "one of the most outspoken of the breed... a muckraking journalist [who] continues to pound away at police officials ...and other civic center hotshots. In pen and in person he's got a tough and hungry manner that makes them uncomfortable."His book Cruel Justice: Three Strikes and the Politics Of Crime in America's Golden State was named "Best Books of 2004" by the San Francisco Chronicle. His previous book, To Protect and to Serve: The LAPD's Century of War in the City of Dreams, won the 1995 Edgar Allan Poe Award for "Best True Crime" non-fiction book. His first book, Faking It In America, is about one of the most audacious stock market swindles of the 1980s. Faking It has been bought by New Line Cinema to be made into a feature film. Show less «
