Join Moon Palace Books on Thursday, May 14th at 5:30pm to celebrate the release of What Ever Happened to Eddy Crane? with Kate Crane in conversation with Margot Douaihy.  

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.

Kate Crane is a journalist and former editor at The Wall Street Journal, whose writing and work has been featured in NPR, Men’s Journal, and Time Out New York. A Baltimore native and New Yorker, she currently lives in California. What Ever Happened to Eddy Crane? is her first book.

Margot Douaihy lives in Northampton, MA, and is a professor of creative writing at Emerson College. She is the author of the award-winning, nationally bestselling Sister Holiday series.
