One-Off Tickets: The access code for one-off tickets releases to non-members in our newsletter on Monday, September 7 at 8pm. Any remaining tickets will open to non-subscribers on Wednesday, September 9.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the graphic nature and potential for triggers in Freed to Kill, we decided to make this a Running Tour (no pre-reading required), rather than Book Club Run (pre-reading required and discussion of book along route). However, we recommend reviewing some of the history and details of this case prior to attending.
