Brewed for Suspense goes close to home with All That is Wicked -A Gilded-Age Story of Murder and the Race to Decode the Criminal Mind  by acclaimed crime historian, podcaster,  Kate Winkler Dawson.  In the book, she  tells the thrilling story of Edward Rulloff—a serial murderer who was called “too intelligent to be killed”—and the array of 19th century investigators who were convinced his brain held the key to finally understanding the criminal mind. Ruloff spent many years in the Ithaca area and his much studied brain is still in situ at the Cornell University Wilder Brain Collection.

Brewed for Suspense meets at Brewer's Kitchen & Taproom, 1384 Dryden Road, across from NYSEG.
