Summary

"Homicide, the celebrated true-crimebook from the creator of HBO's The Wire, is reenvisioned as a gritty, cinematic graphic novel duology. This thrilling second volume concludes the saga. A woman is stabbed and left to die in her bedroom. A taxi cab driver is killed for a handful of jewelry. A man is gunned down over a debt of $8. As the board fills with red ink, the pressure rises. All the while, Detective Pellegrini is haunted by the murder of eleven-year-old Latonya Wallace, a case that is getting colder by the day"--Baker and Taylor website.

Notes

"Originally published in 1991, David Simon's Homicide became the basis for the aclaimed television show Homicide: Life on the Streets and inspired HBO's The Wire."--Book jacket.
