Long time gone - Charlie Donlea

Thirty years ago, Baby Charlotte vanished. Today, she's still in danger.

When Dr Sloan Hastings submits her DNA to an online genealogy site as part of a research assignment for a fellowship in forensic pathology, her life is thrown into turmoil.

Sloan's DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka 'Baby Charlotte', whose case captured the nation when she mysteriously disappeared along with her parents in 1995. Despite an exhaustive search, the family was never seen again and no suspects were named in the case.

Sloan's discovery leads her to the site of her disappearance and to the Margolis family. Though initially welcoming, the family is also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloan's return, or the questions she's asking. The answers she seeks are buried in a graveyard of Margolis family secrets that some will do anything to keep hidden

A tense and unputdownable crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham, Mary Kubica and Karin Slaughter.
