About the event

An Evening with Bryan Gruley, Featuring "Bitterfrost"
We’re kicking off our fall season with Traverse City’s own Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Bryan Gruley, and his brand-new crime thriller, Bitterfrost. Joining him on stage is NWS favorite John U. Bacon for an evening of conversation, storytelling, and suspense.

In Bitterfrost, former hockey star Jimmy Baker thought he’d left his troubled past behind—until he wakes up to the smell of blood and finds himself accused of a brutal double murder. With no memory of the night in question and the evidence mounting, Jimmy’s future is skating on thin ice. Is he capable of such violence—or is he being framed?

Expect a chilling, page-turning discussion about lost dreams, small-town secrets, and the razor-thin line between guilt and innocence.
