Chapter 1: Topographical Map
The chapter introduces the Watertown Police Department's troubling relationship with accountability, highlighted by a $5.5 million settlement for the systemic harassment of Kathleen Donahue, the department's first female detective.
It reframes the 2013 Boston Marathon manhunt, noting that a local resident, rather than the militarized police force, ultimately discovered the suspect.
