"An Unexplained Death"
by Mikita Brottman
Buy this book
“An Unexplained Death” is a nonfiction investigation into the death of a Baltimore man named Ray Rivera. Everyone — Rivera's family, the police, his colleagues — can agree on one thing: he fell to his death in 2006 at a historic building, the Belvedere.
The question is: Did he jump or was he pushed?
This isn't true crime, it's a history of suicides, a meditation on lonely life in the city and a close examination of a shady investment business. It's a constant surprise, page after page.
The audiobook is read by the author, Mikita Brottman, and her voice adds a layer of intimacy to the tale.
