An Evening with John Gilstrap & Rob Mario — BURNED BRIDGES Launch

Her worst fears become reality when she’s thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the region’s most powerful family…
Join us as New York Times bestselling author John Gilstrap returns to the Eastern Panhandle to launch Burned Bridges, the first book in his brand-new Irene Rivers thriller series. Set in the haunting hills of northern West Virginia, this pulse-pounding novel features a former FBI director who thought she’d left danger behind—until a body is found on her land, and her family becomes the target of a powerful coal dynasty determined to keep their secrets buried.
John will be joined in conversation by Rob Mario, longtime local media personality and host of Mario in the Morning and Eastern Panhandle Talk on WRNR/TV10.
Expect a gripping discussion of thriller fiction, West Virginia roots, and what it means when the danger isn’t just in D.C.—it’s in your backyard.
