Mary Logue will join Fair Trade Books Red Wing at noon on Saturday, June 3, for a meet and greet and reading from her new book, The Big Sugar: A Brigid Reardon Mystery. This event is free and open to the public.

Shortly after traveling from Deadwood to Cheyenne to join her brother Seamus, Brigid Reardon finds herself caught up in a deadly mystery—beginning with her discovery of a neighbor’s body on the plains near their homes. Inspired by the true story of Ellen Watson in Cheyenne in 1889, The Big Sugar continues the adventure begun in Mary Logue’s celebrated mystery The Streel.

"The Big Sugar is destined to be a big book. Brigid Reardon is a heroine not just for the 1880s Wyoming frontier but for the ages. Tough, independent, savvy, and principled, she solves a murder, and she is also a horse whisperer who charms the reader as beautifully as she charms her wild palomino mare. Read this book; you won’t regret it."—Cary J. Griffith, author of the Sam Rivers mysteries Wolf Kill, Cougar Claw, and Killing Monarchs

"Logue’s historical backdrop is meticulously constructed and her characters exceptionally drawn."—Publishers Weekly
