Book Synopsis
Two decades after her father disappeared on his night shift, a daughter searches for answers in this stunning, exquisitely written investigative memoir from a "talented writer" (David Simon). When Kate Crane was in eighth grade, her father, a truck mechanic in an industrial neighborhood of Baltimore, left for work and didn't come home. City detectives figured he must have run away, but Kate had a deep-rooted instinct: he must have been killed. Kate, her mother, and her younger sister were left stunned, with no answers, no explanation, and no concrete resolution on the horizon. Twenty years later in New York, Kate is determined to unearth the truth. She reopens the investigation with the Baltimore police department, tracks down retired detectives who'd worked on Eddy's case, and chases leads with old friends through the dark back alleys of her hometown, dead set on finding solace, for her family and herself. Part memoir, part true crime, part psychological suspense, Whatever Happened to Eddy Crane? is a brilliantly written, emotionally resonant story of unfathomable loss and blazing resilience, of Baltimore, of family ghosts, and the bravery required to confront the past.Review Quotes
"Kate Crane is on a worthy journey. Having covered the disappearance of her father and his presumed murder in 1987, I am entirely aware of the terrifying and transforming experience that is so dominant and relevant to her life. That she is still struggling to come to terms with this--as a young woman and as a talented writer--is the stuff of which great narratives are made."--David Simon, creator of HBO's The Wire "Both heartfelt and heartbreaking, Whatever Happened to Eddy Crane is part memoir, part true crime, and part instruction manual for the building of a soul. Crane's story is, and remains, a tragic one, but in gathering the courage to recount her search for her father's murderer she transforms it into a tale of unexpected strength and redemption."--Jim Knipfel, author of Slackjaw
