Katherine SchweitKatherine Schweit is a former journalist and Chicago prosecutor who spent 20 years as an FBI Special Agent. In her latest book, Women Who Talk to the Dead, two women lead the largest FBI exhumation in history to give voice to 200 forgotten murder vicims. Schweit blends her expertise in law enforcement with a gift of storytelling, to bring readers a gripping, true-crime story of social justice. In the shadows of Detroit's abandoned buildings and beneath the soil of county cemeteries lay hundreds of murder victims-buried anonymously, their killers uncharged, their families not knowing why they disappeared. For decades, only decaying police files hinted at what happened to these victims until two women decided to listen to the dead. Schweit is also the author of "Stop the Killing: How to End the Mass Shooting Crisis," and the dual titled, "A Simple Guide to the Second Amendment/How to Talk About Guns With Anyone". Honoring the book with its Ben Franklin Award, the Independent Book Publishers Association called the book a "comprehensive, non-partisan guide [to] equips readers with strategies to engage in informed discussions about guns in America.
