From internationally bestselling author Charlie Donlea, Long Time Gone is a propulsive thriller about forensic genealogy, a decades-old disappearance and the dangerous secrets buried inside one powerful family.
Dr. Sloan Hastings begins an elite fellowship in forensic pathology under renowned Chief Medical Officer Dr. Livia Cutty. As part of her training, she is assigned a research project exploring forensic genealogy, the rapidly developing use of DNA databases to help solve cold cases.
Sloan has always known she was adopted, but when she submits her own DNA to an online genealogy site, the results reveal something she never expected. Her profile suggests that she may actually be Charlotte Margolis, better known as “Baby Charlotte”, who disappeared along with her wealthy parents in July 1995.
The case captivated the public, but despite an extensive investigation, the Margolis family was never found and no suspects were identified.
Sloan’s search for answers takes her to Cedar Creek, Nevada, where the Margolis family’s influence reaches throughout the community. Her biological relatives appear welcoming, but they are also guarded, and not everyone is pleased by Sloan’s return or the questions she is asking.
The deeper Sloan digs, the clearer it becomes that the truth about Baby Charlotte is buried beneath decades of family secrets, corruption and power. And someone is prepared to do anything to keep those secrets hidden.
