Publication Date: 10/27/2015
Format: Paperback
On a warm spring evening in South Los Angeles, a young man is shot and killed on a sidewalk minutes away from his home, one of the thousands of black Americans murdered that year. His assailant runs down the street, jumps into an SUV, and vanishes, hoping to join the scores of killers in American cities who are never arrested for their crimes.
But as soon as the case is assigned to Detective John Skaggs, the odds shift.
Here is the kaleidoscopic story of the quintessential, but mostly ignored, American murderāa āghettosideā killing, one young black man slaying anotherāand a brilliant and driven cadre of detectives whose creed is to pursue justice for forgotten victims at all costs.Ā GhettosideĀ 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 into the great subject of why murder happens in our citiesāand how the epidemic of killings might yet be stopped.
