Thriller Writer and North Shore Native Kevin O'Brien!

Best-selling author Kevin O’Brien will be at The Book Stall (811 Elm St in Winnetka, IL) on August 10th at 6:30 PM to discuss and sign copies of his new thriller, You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone. Suspense Magazine says of O’Brien’s latest, “If you want darkness, if you crave chills, this is the tale for you!” Mr. O’Brien is a long-time friend of the store, and his appearances are always a raucously good time. This event is free and open to the public.

In O’Brien’s 17th book, You’ll Miss Me When I’m Gone, Andrea Boyle moves to Seattle to give her nephew, Spencer, a fresh start after the death of his parents. Andrea has found her own new beginning with Luke, the father of a teenage son, Damon. The two boys appear to have little in common, but they share a private torment—both are being bullied. When a tragedy befalls Damon, it’s up to Andrea to prove Spencer's innocence to the police--and to herself. Because for reasons she has revealed to no one, even Andrea can't help questioning the truth--and fearing that she may be next to pay the ultimate price.

Kevin O’Brien, a graduate of New Trier High School and former railroad inspector, has been writing best-selling fiction since 1997.
