Homicide

***Homicide* , the celebrated true crime-book from the creator of HBO’s *The Wire* , is reenvisioned in this first volume of a gritty, cinematic graphic novel duology.** In 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Department’s homicide unit. Over the next twelve months, he shadowed detectives as they took on a slew of killings in a city where killings were common. Only the most heinous cases stood out–chief amongst them, the rape and murder of eleven-year-old Latonya Wallace. Originally published in 1991, Simon’s *Homicide* became the basis for the acclaimed television show *Homicide: Life on the Streets* and inspired HBO’s *The Wire*. Now, this true-crime classic is reimagined as a gritty two-part graphic novel series.
