“I love this carefully crafted mystery with its horse farm setting, heavily flawed heroine, and an ending that has stayed with me for days. A great read.” —HAN NOLAN, National Book Award Winning Author of Dancing on the Edge “Last Casualty will leave you with a lasting thirst for more from one of the best new mystery writers on the scene—Lee W. Doty. The second in her entertaining and engrossing Norma Bergen series, Last Casualty delivers a brilliant mix of horse-farm couture, history-slamming secrets from a bloody Civil War battlefield, and the consequences of dangerous pharmaceutical marketeering—all in and around a tony little college town in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.” —PATRICIA A. DONOHOE, author of The Printer’s Kiss: The Life and Letters of a Civil War Newspaperman and His Family

LAST CASUALTY

Everyone thought those who died on the Antietam Battlefield did so more than 150 years ago, that is until Norma Bergen, a prickly, stubborn, but otherwise loveable lawyer-between-jobs, stumbles onto someone new. When her teenage daughter realizes the person who died was her close friend, she falls into an alarming depression, driving Norma to bring the killer to justice. Norma’s husband wants to help, in between boarding, training, and instructing on their new horse farm, but no one can help Norma when she faces an unexpected, devastating loss. Last Casualty, the second murder mystery in the Norma Bergen series, delivers all the humor, heartache, and triumph of real life.
