A Deadly Draught
Brewmaster Hera Knightsbridge is a woman in a craft dominated by men. She may have beer rather than blood flowing through her veins, but her fledgling brewery is in trouble. Drought is making water scarce for all the microbreweries in the Butternut Valley of upstate New York, but Hera also lacks capital to keep her operation in business. More serious problems arise when she finds her childhood sweetheart’s father, her most serious brewing competitor, bludgeoned to death in his own brew barn. The brewing community comes under suspicion, and the bank will not grant her loan because she is a suspect. To find the killer, her only choice is to join forces with an unlikely partner, the new assistant deputy sheriff, Jake Ryan, her former lover from law school days. There’s unfinished business between these two, and it surfaces again and again as they pursue a villain who cuts a swath of destruction through the valley by burning and dynamiting microbreweries and attacking their owners, and then finally turns on the indefatigable Hera as the next victim.

About the Author

Lesley retired from her life as a professor of psychology and reclaimed her country roots by moving to a small cottage in the Butternut River Valley in upstate New York. In the winter she migrates to old Florida—cowboys, scrub palmetto, and open fields of grazing cattle, a place where spurs still jingle in the post office. Back north, she devotes her afternoons to writing and, when the sun sets, relaxing on the bank of her trout stream, sipping tea or a local microbrew.
