Charlie Donlea is the USA Today and #1 International bestselling author of Summit Lake, The Girl Who Was Taken, Don't Believe It, Some Choose Darkness, The Suicide House, Twenty Years Later, and Those Empty Eyes. His eighth thriller, Long Time Gone, explores the science of forensic genealogy and will be released in June 2024. 

A late bloomer, he was twenty years old when he read his first novel – The Firm by John Grisham – and knew he would someday write thrillers. His books have now been translated into twenty languages across nearly forty countries, and have been optioned for film and television.  Praised for his "soaring pace, teasing plot twists" (BookPage) and talent for writing an ending that "makes your jaw drop" (The New York Times Book Review), Donlea has been called a "bold new writer...on his way to becoming a major figure in the world of suspense" (Publishers Weekly).  He resides in Chicago with his wife and two children.

This program is brought to you in partnership with the Cary, Crystal Lake, Harvard-Diggins and Huntley Area Public Libraries.  Books will be available for purchase and signing following the program.
