I Got a Monster

Darkly thrilling tour through the ludicrous story of abject corruption and violence inflicted by the Baltimore Police Department's elite plainclothes squad ‘the Gun Trace Taskforce', a gang of cops who used their position to steal from drug dealers and others. The corruption was of course covered up and only ultimately prosecuted after the scale of their crimes and hijinks spiraled so out of control they could no longer be ignored. The authors piece together the timeline effectively but more importantly bring a refreshing critical perspective which isn't afraid to be skeptical or even hostile to traditional narratives from the administrations of the Police Department, State's Attorneys office, or City Government.
