When the author, a Harvard-trained sociologist, left the classroom to become a cop in Baltimore's Eastern District, he was thrust deep into police culture and the ways of the street - the nerve-rattling patrols, the thriving drug corners, and a world of poverty and violence. This book reveals the truths he learned on the midnight shift.
