# 19: Homicide

David Simon

I arrived at this book because I got really into "The Wire", an excellent TV series on HBO. David Simon (along with Ed Burns) is one of the co-creators of the series.

Simon took a year off from the police beat at the baltimore Sun and effecitvely joined the Baltimore Homicide Department as an "intern". He was the eyes and ears of a year's worth of murders in the City, and put these experiences into a very solid book.
