Some Choose Darkness Coming May 28, 2019
Dear Readers,
As 2018 comes to a close, I wanted to say Thank You for making it such an exciting twelve months. Your dedication to my novels not only sent me on an international book tour but gave me the thrill of seeing my books on many bestsellers lists—including the surreal week when my audiobook elbowed past my writing idol, John Grisham, to take the #1 spot. Much, much appreciated!
Looking to 2019,
the paperback of Don’t Believe It will hit shelves on March 26th—just in time for Spring Break. And my new novel, Some Choose Darkness, will be available on May 28th. It’s dark and moody, and I hope you love it!
Details are below, and many more to come in the new year.
Please check my Facebook Page —Charlie Donlea – Author—for a fun giveaway (and great gift idea) just before Christmas.
Happy New Year!
—Charlie Donlea
Some Choose Darkness
(US) Coming May 28, 2019
A modern master of suspense, critically acclaimed author Charlie Donlea returns with a taut, gripping novel about the deadly secrets hiding in plain sight . . .
The truth is easy to miss, even when it’s right in front of us. As a forensic reconstructionist, Rory Moore sheds light on cold-case homicides by piecing together crime scene details others fail to see. Cleaning out her late father’s law office a week after his burial, she receives a call that plunges her into a decades-old case come to life once more.
In the summer of 1979, five Chicago women went missing. The predator, nicknamed The Thief, left no bodies and no clues behind—until police received a package from a mysterious woman named Angela Mitchell, whose unorthodox investigation skills appear to have led to his identity. But before they could question her, Angela disappeared. Forty years later, The Thief is about to be paroled for Angela’s murder—the only crime the DA could pin on him. But the cryptic file Rory finds in her father’s law office suggests there is more to the case, and Angela Mitchell, than what was fed to the public, the details of which have been buried for four decades.
Rory’s talents are tested as she begins reconstructing Angela’s last days. Making one startling discovery after another, Rory becomes helplessly entangled in the enigma of Angela Mitchell and what happened to her. Drawing connections between the past and present, Rory uncovers dark truths about the reclusive victim, her father, and the man called The Thief that sends her down a twisting trail where things may not be as they appear. As she continues to dig, even Rory can’t be prepared for the full, terrifying truth that is emerging . . .
