Join us as Bryan Gruley returns to Bellaire for a special event as part of the release tour for his latest novel, River Deep.

Bryan is a bestselling and award-winning author of seven novels and one book of nonfiction. River Deep is the newest novel in the acclaimed Bitterfrost series.

Attorney Devyn Payne expects a quieter life when she returns to her hometown of Bitterfrost. Until the bodies of two eight-month old boys are pulled from the icy depths of the local river. Was it a tragic accident or something more disturbing?

This suspense-drenched drama is perfect for fans of Dennis Lehane, the TV shows Mayor of Kingstown, The Night Of, and Mare of Easttown, and small-town thrillers by Tim Johnston and John Sandford.
