Murder on U Street — Joe Flood

Has Washington, DC, changed from its days as the Murder Capital of America? Joe Flood takes on this question in his new mystery novel Murder on U Street. Someone is murdering artists and hipsters in Washington, DC. And they're blogging about it in this social-media soaked book. It's up to a cynical DC detective to stop a killer against the backdrop of a rapidly gentrifying city. From parties full of bright young things to forgotten housing projects, Murder on U Street depicts life beyond the monuments for a rich cast of characters in Washington, DC. It's a city that few tourists get to see and one that Flood brings to life in Murder on U Street.
