I'm a big fan of the HBO Series, "The Wire", because it was so well written, by Baltimore Sun news reporters. I live an hour from Baltimore (Murdermore), so I watched these stories unfold.
Last month, the book "Life Sentence" was released which chronicles the rise and fall of one of Baltimore's deadliest gang leaders (at the age of 16) starting in 2016, nearly 20 years after The Wire aired.
It is a pretty frightening look at the urban reality that unfolds a mile or two away from Ravens stadium, Camden Yards, the Inner Harbor tourist destination, etc.

With an MA in Ancient History and Hebrew Studies, along with a PhD in Hebrew Bible and Semitic Languages, Mike had serious academic chops. But beyond that, he knew how to present complex topics in a way that was accessible and engaging to scholars and laypeople alike. And with his inquisitive mind, he was always seeking out new subjects to shine a fresh light on.
