Based on a year on the killing streets of Baltimore, David Simon's true crime masterpiece reveals a city few will ever experience. Day in day out citizens are shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. At the centre of this hurricane of crime is the city's homicide unit, a small brotherhood of men who fight for whatever justice is possible in a deadly world.
Customer Reviews
Outstanding.
A top class read from start to finish. The most candid and honest true crime book I have ever read. If people want to know what police work really is then they should read this book. There is no substitute for really being there and the author gets access like in no book I have read. The inner workings of a police unit are laid bare here and the result is fascinating. A must read.
