Meet the Author: Katherine Schweit worked as an FBI Special Agent executive, a prosecutor, and a journalist before settling down as a full-time writer, professor, and security consultant.

During her career as a Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent, she helped jail bank robbers, kidnappers, and domestic terrorists while working daily with local police investigating and responding to mass casualty and active shooter incidents. A native of Detroit, Ms. Schweit earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Michigan State University. She earned a law degree at DePaul University and joined the Cook County prosecutor’s office as an assistant state’s attorney.

She has published extensively, including opinion pieces in The New York Times and Chicago’s Daily Herald. As a journalist, Katherine earned state and national writing recognition, including a Peter Lisagor Award for her 1990 analysis of discipline meted out to judges and attorneys by the Illinois Supreme Court after one of the largest FBI public corruption investigations ever conducted. She lives in a home in Virginia that is too big for her, just west of Washington, D.C. Learn more: katherineschweit.com

About Katherine’s Books:

Women Who Talk to the Dead: The True Story of 200 Forgotten Murder Victims and the Relentless Pursuit of Justice by an FBI Agent and a Detroit Police Detective

A true story of the largest exhumation of murder victims ever undertaken by the FBI, seeking justice for 200 families

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 forgotten cold cases murders.
