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. The narrative then introduces the controversial hiring of Khalil Mafhoum, an officer with documented "candor issues".
