The Hanging Tree, the second in a series of novels set in the fictional northern Michigan town of Starvation Lake is published by Touchstone and available wherever books are sold August 3rd.
Bryan's first novel, Starvation Lake, was nominated for an Edgar Award for Best First Novel and several other awards.

Since 1971, he has been going to his family cottage on Big Twin Lake, not far from the real Starvation Lake. His first newspaper job was with the Antrim County News in Bellaire.
