n nHomicide, the celebrated true crime-book from the creator of HBOs The Wire, is reenvisioned in this first volume of a gritty, cinematic graphic novel duology. n nIn 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Departments 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. n nOriginally published in 1991, Simons Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show Homicide: Life on the Streets and inspired HBOs The Wire. Now, this true-crime classic is reimagined as a gritty two-part graphic novel series.n
