In March, we’ll welcome true crime enthusiasts to join us for an evening with Áine Cain and Kevin Greenlee, authors of Shadow of the Bridge: The Delphi Murders and the Dark Side of the American Heartland, and hosts of The Murder Sheet podcast.
Cain, a journalist, and Greenlee, a lawyer, have made a joint career out of researching and reporting on true crime events. Their debut book details the investigation into the 2017 murders of 14-year-old Liberty German and 13-year-old Abigail Williams in Delphi, Indiana. Cain and Greenlee spent four years investigating the case, resulting in hundreds of podcast episodes and ultimately sharing first-hand accounts from family members, investigators, prosecutors, and the Delphi community. Publisher’s Weekly describes Shadow of the Bridge as: “have[ing] painted a robust, emotionally exhausting portrait of a tight-knit community ravaged by tragedy and the internet’s intersection with modern murder investigations. This will get under readers’ skin.”
