This book recommendation is on Ghettoside by Jill Leovy. From the cover: “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 onto the greater subject of why murder happens in our cities - and how the epidemic of killings might yet be stopped.”
