Foundation Press has published Criminal Procedure Stories, edited by Carol S. Steiker (Harvard):
Unlike casebooks, this title provides rich narrative detail of the human stories — and the social, political, and legal contexts — of notable Supreme Court cases on criminal justice. It includes details not available elsewhere, and offers the insights of respected scholars who are experts on the particular cases and issues they address. This book will greatly enhance the teaching both of police practices (a.k.a "Cops and Robbers") and of criminal adjudication (a.k.a "Bail to Jail").
The book was featured at a Harvard Law School Conference on April 21-22: Criminal Procedure Stories: Challenges in Constitutional Criminal Procedure — Past, Present, and Future. (For a list of the panels, speakers, and commentators, see here.)
