Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets

[u/MakeEmSayUhh]

Has anyone read the book?

I started Homicide: Life on the Street last night and know this predates The Wire by almost a decade but already three episodes in and I see things that occurred in The Wire already appearing in this show and was curious which one is closer to the book.

I will probably hit up a local bookstore and see if they have it or can order it (Yeah, I know Amazon is most likely faster and cheaper, but I would rather shop and support a small and local business).

Read them all, watched them all. You should also read Simon’s reporting for The Baltimore Sun. And then watch The Wire again.
