Book of the Week: Miles Corwin's "Homicide Special"

I'd never heard of this book, which was first published in 2003, so when a friend recommended it I picked it up right away. Journalist Miles Corwin spent a year with the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division, riding with the detectives, sitting in the squad room and observing their investigations. Homicide Special is the fascinating result of that work, a non-fiction study that reads like a Michael Connelly novel. Corwin is a sharp observer and a fine writer. For anyone interested in learning what a homicide investigation is really like, this is indispensable.

There is a prequel to this book by Corwin...."The Killing Season: A Summer Inside An LAPD Homocide Division."

Both are great books.

How does this compare to the brilliant David Simon's "Homicide"?

I've never read David Simon's Homicide. But Homicide Special is excellent.

The art of giving presents is to give something which others cannot buy for themselves.
