As a reporter for the Detroit News, LeDuff tries to uncover where all the money, targeted toward municipal services, is really going. The “Big Three” car companies are months away from begging for bailouts, arsonists are burning down vacant buildings, firefighters have faulty equipment, ambulances take too long to arrive, and violent criminals walk the streets. Returning in 2008 after 20 years away, the former New York Times staff writer finds a city in its death throes. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist LeDuff (Work and Other Sins) delivers an edgy portrait of the decline, destruction, and possible redemption of his hometown.
