We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops and Corruption in an American City by Justin Fenton

4.0

I read this book after watching a couple of episodes of the TV series of the same name that uses this book as the source material. It's a quite shocking story of police corruption which would push the bounds of credulity if it was fiction. The research involved in putting together this book must have involved a huge effort. I found the style of writing a bit too factual in places which made the writing a bit dry. More of a narrative style approach would have made it more readable and relatable but I suppose that's just the author's personal style.
