What better way to honor Super Bowl champ Ray Lewis:
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — As Ravens fans celebrated, violence broke out not far from the parade route. One teenager is dead and two others were injured in a triple stabbing.
In keeping with the city’s adoration of its retiring defensive star, the stabber will be acquitted of murder and then lavishly praise the Lord.

It’s the summer of 1956 in the Los Angeles of our noir imaginations. A serial rapist posing as an undercover cop targets the city’s lovers’ lanes. What complicates finding him is that he’s black and the victims aren’t, and the “white” newspapers won’t run stories that could tarnish the city’s reputation. Meanwhile, racist cops are sure they’ve found their culprit in a former black officer who’d been fired from the LAPD for dating a white woman. Only one detective, a Latino, believes him innocent. But after falling in love with one of the victims, he has to work alone and on the q.t. to solve the case. Eventually, with a little help from Hollywood, the detective springs a trap that ensnares the rapist. It’s the best true story you ever heard—and it has just been published by St. Martin's Press. “...blistering true crime.... In a crowded field of fine true crime authors, Engel makes sure that all of the dots are connected and justice has its say.” –Publishers Weekly
