Although the greater Ann Arbor area has enjoyed low crime rates, extraordinary criminal acts have occasionally pierced its calm and quiet. James Thomas Mann presents his latest book Murder & Mayhem in Washtenaw County, a tour into some of the darkest corners of our area's past.

Mann is the author of nine published books on local history, including Wicked Washtenaw County, Wicked Ann Arbor and Wicked Ypsilanti, and he is a frequent contributor to the Ypsilanti Gleanings, the publication of the Ypsilanti Historical Society.

Hosted by Martin Bandyke of ann arbor's 107one, this event includes a signing with books for sale.
