Remarkable-great journalism, social commentary, and writing rolled into a fascinating, gripping, and at times heart-wrenching story.-Michael ConnellyGaining unprecedented access to the LAPD, crime reporter Miles Corwin shadows two homicide detectives on the mean streets of South Central L.A. Pete Raz Razanskas and Marcella Winn were unlikely partners: one a crusty, twenty-two-year veteran of the force; the other a street-smart woman who grew up in the neighborhood. A graphic, uncensored look at real cops and real killers, The Killing Season is that rare combination of first-rate reportage and riveting storytelling that will leave you shaken, informed, and blasted awake.Praise for The Killing SeasonA grab-you-by-the-throat page-turner.-Los Angeles Times Book ReviewGripping drama and pathos . . . Rarely has the genre been worked to better effect. . . . [Corwin] could scarcely have invented a better cast and story.-The New York Times Book ReviewThe Killing Season captures the sights, sounds, and smells of a big-city homicide squad at work as well as any book within recent memory. Its crime reporting at its raw and scintillating best.-Vincent Bugliosi, author of Outrage and Helter Skelter
