Kennett Square author Mark Bowden will be discussing his latest book, "The Last Stone," at 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16, as part of the Hadley Fund series. The talk will take place at Kennett Friends Meeting, 125 W. Sickle St., Kennett Square.
Mark's nonfiction book is about the investigation into the kidnapping and murder of sisters Katherine and Sheila Lyon, ages 10 and 12, who disappeared on March 25, 1975, during a trip to a shopping mall in Wheaton, Maryland. Their bodies were never recovered, but Montgomery County, Maryland, detectives finally got a break in the cold case in 2013 when they were able to home in on Lloyd Lee Welch, who was serving a prison sentence in Delaware for child sexual abuse. He subsequently pleaded guilty to killing the Lyon sisters and was sentenced to serve an additional prison term in Virginia for the murders after he finishes serving his Delaware sentence in 2026.
Mark, a former Philadelphia Inquirer reporter, wrote the best sellers "Black Hawk Down" and "Hue 1968."
