Product Description
The scene is Baltimore. Twice every three days another citizen is shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. At the cente of this hurricane of crime is the citys homicide unit, a small brotherhood of men confronted by the darkest of American visions. David Simon was the first reporter ever to gain unlimited access to a homicide unit, and his remarkable book is both a compelling account of casework and an investigation into our culture of violence. The narrative follows Donald Worden, a veteran investigator nearing the end of his career Harry Edgerton, an iconoclastic black detective in a mostly white unit and Tom Pellegrini, an earnest rookie who takes on the years most difficult case, the brutal rape and murder of an eleven-year-old girl.
