In the bustling, rain-swept streets of Seattle, Washington, a story began to unfold on March 5, 1959. It was a story that would eventually captivate the minds of readers across the nation and beyond.

This is the story of Gregg Olsen, a man whose name would become synonymous with gripping true crime and thrilling fiction. Gregg's journey into the world of storytelling wasn't just a career choice; it was a destiny carved out of a profound interest in the darker aspects of human nature and a passion for weaving narratives that both enthrall and educate.

As he matured in the evergreen surroundings of Seattle, Gregg's fascination with crime and punishment began to shape his future. His career is a tapestry of accomplishments, each thread representing a book, an award, or an appearance that added to the richness of his professional life.

The Deep Dark, a harrowing tale of disaster and redemption in America's richest silver mine, not only earned the title of Idaho Book of the Year in 2006 but also marked Gregg as a finalist for the Spur Award. This was just the beginning of a series of accolades and recognitions that would follow.
