TOM FARMER AND MARTY FOLEY - A Murder in Wellesley

The book A Murder in Wellesley takes the reader far beyond the headlines and national news coverage spawned by Mabel “May” Greineder’s killing and tells the untold story of the meticulous investigation led by Marty Foley, the lead State Police detective on the case, from the morning of the murder through the affirmation of Dirk Greineder’s conviction in 2010. Tom Farmer is a former award-winning Boston newspaper reporter and editor. While a reporter at the Boston Herald, Farmer covered the entire Greineder murder case.

Exhaustive interviews with key figures in the case, including many who have not talked publicly until now, contribute to an unprecedented behind-the-scenes account of how investigators methodically built their case against her husband, a prominent allergist and family man who was soon revealed to be leading a secret, double life involving prostitutes, pornography, and trysts solicited through the Internet. A fascinating true-crime procedural that is also a deeply unsettling tale of the psychopath you thought you knew, of deceptions and double lives, and families torn apart by an unthinkable crime. Culminating in one of the most dramatic courtroom spectacles in recent memory (aired nationally on Court TV), A Murder in Wellesley reveals the truth behind the murder that gripped a nation.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Milford Town Library, this event is free and open to the public.
