Author Event Rod Sadler

Alanson Area Public Library welcomes U.P. Notable Book author Rod Sadler, a retired police officer who served in Mid-Michigan for thirty years. After discovering a brutal 1897 murder in Williamston, where his great grandfather was the sheriff, he began researching true crime. While earning his bachelor’s degree, he found a passion for writing. His book, Killing Women: The True Story of Don Miller’s Reign of Terror, inspired three documentaries. His latest work, Depraved Obsession: The Gripping True Story of Law Enforcement’s Hunt for a Sadistic Serial Killer, launches on May 6. Rod has published five Michigan-based true crime books, known for their meticulous research and detail, including one that takes place in a setting we are all familiar with, Grim Paradise: The Cold Case Search for the Mackinac Island Killer. This free presentation will take place in the Littlefield Alanson Community Building Thursday, July 17th, 2025 7:00pm-8:30pm. #AuthorEvent
