The true story that formed the basis of the series “Homicide,” from David Simon, Edgar Award winner, creator of the cult “The Wire,” “We Own This Town,” “On the Corner” and “The Deuce” with James Franco Starring Simon as the first reporter to gain unrestricted access to Homicide, this gripping book chronicles a year spent on the violent streets of an American city. Set in Baltimore, where people are constantly being shot, stabbed or beaten to death. At the center of this crime storm is Homicide, a small brotherhood of tough men who fight for justice in this cruel world. Among them: Donald Worden, an experienced investigator; Harry Edgerton, a black detective in a predominantly white unit; and Tom Pellegrini, a newcomer who takes on the most difficult case of the year - the brutal rape and murder of an eleven-year-old girl.
