This is a fabulous true crime book that reads like a thriller. If you are a fan of HBO's The Wire, you will no doubt love this book. The creator fo The Wire spent a year with the Baltimore homicide department and gives an account of all the cases the detectives see throughout that year. What an amazing piece of work this is.

I read this because I loved Homicide: Life on the Street (on NBC in the mid to late 90s) and wanted to read the book that started it all. The book doesn't disappoint.

David Simon of... The Wire! And from my school (not at the same time).
