A masterly work of literary journalism about a senseless murder, a relentless detective, and the great plague of homicide in America.
NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF
THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Washington Post • The Boston Globe • The
Economist • The Globe and Mail • BookPage • Kirkus Reviews
On a warm spring evening in South Los Angeles, a young man is shot and killed on a sidewalk minutes away from his home, one of the thousands of black Americans murdered that year. His assailant runs down the street, jumps into an SUV, and vanishes, hoping to join the scores of killers in American cities who are never arrested for their crimes.
But as soon as the case is assigned to Detective John Skaggs, the odds shift.
Here is the kaleidoscopic story of the quintessential, but mostly ignored, American murder—a “ghettoside” killing, one young black man slaying another—and a brilliant and driven cadre of detectives whose creed is to pursue justice for forgotten victims at all costs.
Ghettoside is a fast-paced narrative of a devastating crime, an intimate portrait of detectives and a community bonded in tragedy, and a surprising new lens into the great subject of why murder happens in our cities—and how the epidemic of killings might yet be stopped.

Yet another blackxploitation feature by white a zealot!
August 16th, 2016
It’s a black on black crime. How on earth can you think this is an ‘blackxploitation’? Are you angry that a black didn’t write a book about this? How about if you write a book about this crime?
I note you didn’t think enough of the cops for tracking down the murderer…
Grow up.

Fantastic! It tells the stories of the people who’ve lost loved ones, and explores the conflicts between the police and the community.

@marco il duce(entertaining nick) Comments are here to commend uploaders for their work. They are also here to alert the membership body about an issue, or issue, with an upload. That is pretty much it.
Much thanks to loyalise. This looks to be an important volume, and is an Audie winner! Thanks so much. I listened to a chapter, and Ms Lowman is a treat.

All Ears: blackxploitation DOES NOT MEAN black exploitation, it means exploiting the subject of blacks or any other subject in the course of pushing other agendas. If you’re old enough, you would remember the term “sexploitation” given to cheaply made movies (1970s} exploiting sex as a means to attract people’s attention to unimaginative thrillers. Growing up means growing out of these mundane issues, important as they are, to a wider humanistic horizon, of concern to blacks, whites, reds, yellows etc. and exactly, trust the police to deal with it.

I’m disturbed by the deeply rooted racism where whites only discuss white murders and the blacks only discuss black murders. All murders should be discussed together, their causes are all similar, all human, all psychologial, environmental, conditional. Biologically there is no race. The issue is inequality.
