The cover looks very good. I found this book to be very interesting as I do not typically read non-fiction thriller books. I am more of a mystery fiction reader. Bad city is about corruption and betrayal written by a Journalist who is desperate to uncover the dangerous secrets of the University of Southern California faculty. Most of the reporting is done on the University of Southern California and the corrupted men who worked there. He checks in to a tip that leads him to an investigation that uncovers shocking information. Who would have thought? This is definitely a page turner. The book starts off in a hotel room littered with drugs and an unconscious women. He received a tip to the crime scene. I read this book in two days which is rare for me. It usually takes a week or so to read a book. I would definitely read more books by this author.
