THE MULTI-AWARD WINNING INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - AS READ ON BBC
RADIO 4 Why would you kill your neighbour? Based on the best part
of a decade embedded with the homicide units of the LAPD, this
groundbreaking work of reportage takes us onto the streets, inside
the homes and into the lives of a community wracked by a homicide
epidemic. Through the gripping story of one particular murder - of
an eighteen-year-old boy named Bryant Tennelle, gunned down one
evening in spring for no apparent reason - and of its investigation
by a brilliant, ferociously driven detective - a blond,
surfer-turned-cop named John Skaggs - it reveals the true origins
of such violence, explodes the myths surrounding policing and race
and shows that the only way to reverse the cycle of violence is
with justice.
