My "Riley's Choose Your Own Book Adventure!" selection is…
We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops, and Corruption by Justin Fenton.
Now, I know you are probably wondering why this was my choice. Well, I’ll tell you. (Even if you aren’t wondering why this was my choice, I’m still going to tell you.)
1. Non-fiction
2. Saw a trailer for an upcoming show which is based on this book
3. From producers of a previous show, I loved, which was based on another book I loved
4. Both this book, the forthcoming show, the previous book, and its subsequent show are real-life accounts that take place in Baltimore, MD
5. The author is an investigative reporter for the new Baltimore Banner
6. Previously, he spent 17 years at the Baltimore Sun in a similar role
7. I respect journalists who are willing to “hit the streets” and “get in the mix”
8. I wanted a book that had a title and a subtitle separated by a colon (:)
