Detroit Author Arnold Hannon

“To show violence, to end violence.” That is the purpose of Arnold Hannon’s newly-released Sketches of Murder.

Sketches of Murder revisits nearly 250 murder scenes in Detroit from 1960-2009 by capturing local newspaper headlines and articles from that time period.

Hannon argues forcefully that solving problems violently is not the answer, and makes a strong case for non-violent conflict resolution.

Particularly relevant in light of recent events, Hannon’s painstaking research and relevant commentary will undoubtedly prove valuable to those caught in the crossfire of a violent society.
