Incredible. The greatest non-fiction book I have ever read about the Police. David Simon is a master of combining hard facts with the human heart and as aresult you're made all the more aware of the magic and horror that lurks out there. If you want a book that's going to give everything you could possibly want and more, this is it. Read it one summer and I remember just wanting the book to never end. An amazing stunning book that will give you such an insight into what it is like to investigate murders for a living. A must read of the highest order.
