A grisly death near her new homestead draws Brigid Reardon into a
complicated mystery soon after her arrival in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in
1881 After the harrowing events that entangled her in Deadwood,
Brigid Reardon just wants to move west and get on with her new life
in America. But shortly after traveling to Cheyenne to join her
brother Seamus, she finds herself caught up in another deadly
mystery-beginning with her discovery of a neighbor's body on the
plains near their homes. Was Ella murdered? Are either of the two
men in Ella's life responsible? With Seamus away on a cattle drive,
her friend Padraic possibly succumbing to a local's charms, and the
sheriff seemingly satisfied with Ella's fate, it falls to Brigid to
investigate what really happened, which puts her in the crosshairs
of one of Cheyenne's cattle barons, called "big sugars" in these
parts. All she really wants is something better than a crumbling,
soddy homestead on the desolate plains of Wyoming-and maybe, just
maybe, she wants Padraic-but life, it seems, has other plans: this
young immigrant from Ireland is going to be a detective on the
western frontier of 1880s America, even if it kills her. Loosely
based on 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, which introduced a "gritty, charming, clever
protagonist" (Kirkus Reviews). With a faultless sense of history, a
keen eye for suspense, and a poet's way with prose, Mary Logue all
but guarantees that readers, like Brigid, will find the mystery at
the heart of The Big Sugar downright irresistible.
