Event Details

Author Tom Carr narrates stories of murder, robbery, and mayhem through the ages in the Great Lakes state. Delivered in a lively manner with humor and historical context, the stories include crimes of passion, greed, insanity, and just plain awfulness. He has related tales of true crimes and dark history in all corners of both peninsulas. While he includes occurrences from a variety of locations throughout the state, he also tailors each talk so attendees hear about incidents close to home. Carr is an award-winning reporter and columnist who worked at daily newspapers in Michigan for more than 25 years. As a freelance writer and broadcaster, his work has appeared on NPR, the New York Daily News, the Detroit Free Press and many other local, regional, and national news outlets. His books, so far, are Blood on the Mitten, MI BAD, and Dark Side of the Mitten.
