An Evening with Barbara Butcher, Author of What the Dead Know: Learning About Life as a New York City Death Investigator

Join the library on Wednesday, September 13 at 7 p.m. for a virtual author event with Barbara Butcher, who will discuss her new book, What the Dead Know. This riveting, deeply personal memoir details more than twenty years of death-scene investigations by the former New York City death investigator. This is the fascinating and stunning real-life story of a woman who, in dealing with death every day, learned surprising lessons about life—and how some of those lessons saved her from becoming a statistic herself.
