A late bloomer, Donlea was twenty years old when he read his first novel, John Grisham’s The Firm, and decided that he too, would write thrillers. Since his debut novel was published in 2016, Donlea’s work has been published across forty countries, translated into twenty languages, and optioned for film and television. His books include Summit Lake, The Girl Who Was Taken, Don’t Believe It, Some Choose Darkness, The Suicide House, and Twenty Years Later. His eighth thriller, A Long Time Gone, comes out this June.
This event is sponsored by AAPLD, Cary Area, Crystal Lake, Harvard-Diggins, and Huntley Area Pubic Libraries.
