I have read this book 3 times and have enjoyed it each and every time. It explores the inner workings of the Baltimore Homicide detectives for one year in the 80's. You won't be able to put it down!

One of the best true crime books I've read. Only Helter Skelter is better in my estimation. One gets to know the detectives and how they work. Well written.

Love this book. They based the great TV show on it...but seriously, no book has captured the gritty reality of working a real crime scene better. This is one fantastic book.
