Summit Lake by Charlie Donlea

Set in a small, picturesque North Carolina town, #1 international bestselling author Charlie Donlea's debut suspense novel tells the haunting story of a murdered law school student, the reporter assigned to her story-and the intimate connection that comes when the living walk in the footsteps of the dead...


"A gem of a mystery, fast-paced and suspenseful." -Catherine Coulter, # 1 New York Times bestselling author on Summit Lake

No suspects. No persons of interest. Just a girl who was alive one day and dead the next.

Some places seem too beautiful to be touched by horror. Summit Lake, nestled in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, is that kind of place. But two weeks ago, Becca Eckersley, a first-year law student and daughter of a powerful attorney, was brutally murdered there. Now the town is reeling with grief, and the police are baffled.

At first, investigative reporter Kelsey Castle thinks of the assignment as a fluff piece. But the savagery of the crime, and the efforts to keep it quiet, hint at something far more sinister than a random attack by a stranger. As Kelsey digs deeper, despite danger and warnings, she feels a growing connection to the dead girl. And the more she learns about Becca's friendships, her love life-and her secrets-the more convinced she becomes that walking in Becca's footsteps could lead her out of her own dark past...

Summit Lake, The Girl Who Was Stolen, Don't Believe It, Some Choose Darkness, The Suicide House, and Twenty Years Later are among Charlie Donlea's international bestsellers. Donlea has been dubbed a bold new writer...on his way to becoming a big figure in the field of suspense (Publishers Weekly) for his soaring speed, enticing narrative twists (BookPage), and skill for penning an ending that makes your jaw drop (The New York Times Book Review). He was born and reared in Chicago, where he and his wife and two children still reside. CharlieDonlea.com is his website.
