Homicidio is a gripping and thought-provoking book that delves into the dark underbelly of Baltimore's homicide unit.

Written by David Simon, a former journalist and creator of the acclaimed TV series The Wire, this book provides an unflinching look at the lives of the detectives who work tirelessly to solve the city's most brutal crimes. With vivid descriptions and compelling characters, Homicidio takes readers on a journey through the streets of Baltimore, revealing the harsh realities of life in one of America's most violent cities.

From the eyes of Inspector Donald Worden, a veteran detective nearing retirement, to the iconoclastic Inspector Harry Edgerton, a black detective in a predominantly white unit, to the enthusiastic rookie Inspector Tom Pellegrini, who is tasked with solving the most heinous crime of the year - the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl. This book is more than just a crime novel; it's a powerful exploration of race, class, and the human condition.

Homicidio has been praised as "a masterpiece" by Martin Amis and has served as the basis for the hit TV series The Wire.
