“This book is everything a reader could want. It will crack your whole heart open.”–Rachel Louise Snyder, author of No Visible Bruises and Women We Buried, Women We Burned
Two decades after her father disappeared from his trucking company, a daughter searches for answers in this stunning, exquisitely written investigative memoir from a “talented writer” (David Simon).
One night when Kate Crane was twelve, her father called to say he was on his way home from his trucking business. He never showed up. Kate and her family were left stunned, with no explanation or resolution on the horizon. Twenty years later, now a journalist in New York City, Kate reopens the investigation with Baltimore’s Cold Case Unit, tracks down the retired detectives who’d worked Eddy’s case, and chases leads with old friends through her hometown’s dark alleys. Maybe she can find some answers–or at least a little solace.
Part memoir, part true crime, part psychological suspense, What Ever Happened to Eddy Crane? is a brilliantly written, emotionally resonant story of searing loss and resilience, of Baltimore, of family ghosts, and the bravery required to confront the past.
“A gutting page-turner, an investigative trick mirror, a blazing book in a category all its own. This daring book catalyzes a new conversation about crime, storytelling, and closure in a grief-denying culture.”–Margot Douaihy, USA Today bestselling author of Scorched Grace
“Both heartfelt and heartbreaking … a tale of unexpected strength and redemption.”–Jim Knipfel, author of Slackjaw
