Summary:

"During 33 years in Baltimore, author Jeannette Belliveau seemed to witness every trend first hand: neighbors who won the Mega Millions, or who died of overdoses, were killed execution style, or helped ruin Under Armour's reputation. And an investigative story-within-a-memoir emerged as she began tracking what she calls 'Outlier homicides': 44 killings between 1993 and 2024 of law-abiding citizens. These were cancer researchers, tech founders, a space economist, students, coaches, bartenders -- people who played by the rules and died anyway. Where other cities might suffer one or two such tragedies, Baltimore has dozens. Fleeing Baltimore is the first in-depth account of these losses and their role in the city's population collapse. It's also a detailed case study of her decision-making to become part of an exodus of 385,000 residents since 1950. "--From publisher's website.
