A fictionalized version of the McDuffie riots, written by the Miami reporter who covered the case that led up to those riots. It would be fascinating to hear from Edna Buchanan about how she's been reading coverage of police-involved shootings in recent years, and about whether she'd cover those cases any differently.

It took me a couple of chapters to get hooked, but this is the first book in a series about newspaper reporter Britt Montero who chases on the nighttime police beat in Miami. I actually listened to the second book first and was hooked immediately on that one!
