What is Zulu time? Want to know more about Hutch's comment regarding the "Apalachin Meeting"? (Yes, it is spelled that way.) This is one starting place:

• A brief overview of basic crime information, it's somewhat dated. But then so is Bay City so it works out well. The book's best feature is its Los Angeles street slang circa 1970’s.
