Martin Preib is an officer in the Chicago Police Department - a beat cop whose first assignment as a rookie policeman was working on the wagon that picks up the dead. This book chronicles the outer and inner lives of both a Chicago cop and the city. It recounts how Preib navigates the tenuous labyrinths of race and class in the urban metropolis.
