Spy Plane

"Deeply reported and incredibly entertaining, Benjamin Synder's in-the-room account offers a touching portrait of Baltimore by way of an ensemble of quirky analysts, concerned community members, and desperate homicide detectives. His clear-eyed book reveals that behind surveillance tech hype and promise are fallible, conflicted people and also gives nuance to conversations about surveillance and crime."--Brandon Soderberg, coauthor of I Got a Monster: The Rise and Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squad
