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, What Ever 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.
