S Street Rising: Crack, Murder, and Redemption in D.C. by Rubén Castañeda

3.0

I would love to have heard more of the stories he actually covered on the night shift for the Post instead of his quest for crack (although I see how it was interwoven and ironical). I thoroughly enjoyed the second half of the book and the stories of crack hustlers, Marion Barry and Lou Hennesy (whom I never heard of). As a lifelong resident of the DC it was informative.
