Author Tessa Wegert in conversation w/Author Deborah Levison 10/3 at 2:30PM

We are so excited to welcome Tessa Wegert to The BookSmiths Shoppe for a special Book Launch + Author Signing—joined in conversation by Deborah Levison.
Saturday, October 3rd | 2:30 PM
We’ll be celebrating Tessa’s newest novel, The River Runs Black (official release 10/6), with an early launch event right here in Danbury—before it’s widely available.
About the book:
Set in the Thousand Islands, a teen’s overdose exposes something far more dangerous beneath the surface of a quiet waterfront town. What begins as a local tragedy quickly unravels into a high-stakes investigation involving a hidden network operating across the North Country. Atmospheric, tense, and layered—this is a story that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
Critics have called her work:
“An edge-of-your-seat mystery” — Booklist
“Grips from the first page and never lets go” — Liv Constantine
Praised for its twisty suspense and deeply layered characters
Tessa will be joined by Deborah Levison, author of A Novel Crime, The Crate (a gripping true story of war, M**der, and justice), and A Nest of Snakes. Deborah brings a sharp, compelling voice to the mystery and crime genre, and we’re so excited to have her back in our store for this shared signing event.
Two incredible authors.
One conversation.
One unforgettable afternoon.
