Homicide
Author: David Simon
Publisher: Holt Paperbacks
ISBN: 1429900954
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
From the creator of HBO's The Wire, the classic book about homicide investigation that became the basis for the hit television show The scene is Baltimore. Twice every three days another citizen is shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. At the center of this hurricane of crime is the city's homicide unit, a small brotherhood of hard men who fight for whatever justice is possible in a deadly world. David Simon was the first reporter ever to gain unlimited access to a homicide unit, and this electrifying book tells the true story of a year on the violent streets of an American city. The narrative follows Donald Worden, a veteran investigator; Harry Edgerton, a black detective in a mostly white unit; and Tom Pellegrini, an earnest rookie who takes on the year's most difficult case, the brutal rape and murder of an eleven-year-old girl. Originally published fifteen years ago, Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show of the same name. This new edition—which includes a new introduction, an afterword, and photographs—revives this classic, riveting tale about the men who work on the dark side of the American experience.

Murder at the Yeshiva
Author: Stewart Bird
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1457538687
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
Mo Shuman, a homicide detective who is about to retire at the Twelfth Precinct on the Lower East Side, catches the murder of Aaron Cohen, a yeshiva student whose body is found beneath the Williamsburg Bridge. In solving the murder with his homicide squad, Shuman must come to grips with his own demons. Murder at the Yeshiva is a suspenseful story of greed, sexual abuse and murder against the backdrop of a cloistered religious community. Detective Shuman finds himself at the center of a political struggle as he hunts down the murderer with grim determination at the same time he is being hunted down himself. Murder at the Yeshiva starts with a simple premise – but murder is seldom simple; especially when it’s immersed in subterfuge with concurrently-running subplots and special interests. Slowly, readers become privy to information that Shuman does not know – and just as slowly, the gears of a murder machine begin to come together and ramp up. Part of the compelling draw of Murder at the Yeshiva is this attention to detail, which takes a relatively straightforward scenario and develops it into something unexpectedly complex. And while readers who want quick action and predictable paths in their murder mysteries may find themselves chafing at the bit of a slower-moving plot than some, the pleasure here lies in this exquisitely delicate evolutionary process. S. Bird takes the time to build characters, atmosphere, subplots, motives, and mystery. Under his hand the plot thickens like a pudding, carefully stirred and tended until, many chapters into the story, readers find themselves thoroughly immersed in a well-cooked saga that’s as much about Shuman’s evolution as it is about solving a murder.
