Meet bestselling author Gregg Olsen at the signing of Kitsap County-based book


Gregg Olsen, Olalla-based bestselling and award-winning author, is best known for his true crime book, “Starvation Heights,” based in his own neck of the woods (the book has been recently optioned for a film). And now he’s taking readers back to Kitsap County in his latest thriller, “Victim Six.”

The book will make its debut the week of Jan. 25, and Olsen will be at several Kitsap-area bookstores through mid-February to meet his fans and sign books. The thriller features a Kitsap County sheriff’s detective on the hunt for a serial killer.

Thriller author Lee Childs remarked about “Victim Six”: “Olsen will leave you on the edge of your seat."
