Publisher's Summary
A masterly work of literary journalism about a senseless murder, a relentless
detective, and the great plague of homicide in America.
On a warm spring evening in South Los Angeles, a young man is shot and
killed on a sidewalk minutes away from his home--one of the thousands
of black Americans murdered that year. His assailant runs down the street,
jumps into an SUV, and vanishes, hoping to join the scores of killers
in American cities who are never arrested for their crimes.
But as soon as the case is assigned to Detective John Skaggs, the odds
shift.
Here is the kaleidoscopic story of the quintessential but mostly ignored
American murder--a "ghettoside" killing, one young black man slaying
another--and a brilliant and driven cadre of detectives whose creed
is to pursue justice for forgotten victims at all costs. Ghettoside
is a fast-paced narrative of a devastating crime, an intimate portrait
of detectives and a community bonded in tragedy, and a surprising new
lens into the great subject of why murder happens in our cities--and
how the epidemic of killings might yet be stopped.
What the Critics Say
"A gripping and powerful account of urban homicide investigation in
the United States." (Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of
Devil in the Grove)
Police and race in America are examined with forensic skill and furious,
exceptional prose. Lucid, revelatory, superbly written, incredibly timely.
A book of the year." (Chris Cleave, author of Little Bee)
"Ghettoside is a brilliant taxonomic investigation into the American
violence epidemic disguised as a highly entertaining true crime book."
(Matt Taibbi, author of The Divide)
