True crime, as an entertainment genre, has always prioritized clear narrative arcs: victims wronged, police detectives in pursuit, suspects apprehended, justice delivered. Fourteen of the most innovative crime writers cast a light on the cases that give crucial insight into our society. This anthology pulls back the curtain on how crime itself is a by-product of North America's systemic harms and inequalities. And in doing so, it reveals how the genre of true crime can be a catalyst for social change.
