MODEL DETECTIVE takes readers where true crime has never gone before-inside the heart, mind, and soul of a Chicago homicide detective whose grit and instincts prove that a womans place is in the homicide division.Sergeant Michele Wood, a 25-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, has spent nearly two decades in the Detective Division. With hundreds of arrests, and an extraordinary record of solving murders, she has led homicide teams while also appearing as a legal expert on ABCs 20/20 and other national true crime series.In MODEL DETECTIVE, Wood takes readers through complex murder cases-revealing how she interprets evidence and uses her perspective as a woman to succeed in a male-dominated world. Woods skills attest to her high success rate and stellar reputation on the force and explains why shes Chicagos (and probably the countrys) only detective who previously worked as a flight attendant, moonlighted as a fitness-magazine model, and continues her on-air fame as a crime TV expert. From the story of her Chicago upbringing to the extraordinary perils of policing in Chicago, MODEL DETECTIVE is the raw inspiring, tale of courage, resilience and determination in Americas most violent city.
