Lager has published six police procedural novels following the adventures of a young, female deputy sheriff \u2013 Ro Delahanty \u2013 in fictional, semi-rural Fort Armstrong County, Iowa, except she finds lots of ways to get into trouble.<\/p>\n

The four novels in the series that won first place are: Ro\u2019s Handle<\/em>, book one; Hear Evil<\/em>, book two; Losses<\/em>, book three; and Secrets Never End<\/em>, book four.<\/p>\n

Sniper\u2019s Day<\/em>, book five, was a Finalist for the Best Thriller \/ Suspense individual Novel i<\/strong>n the CIBA competition.<\/p>\n

Revelations<\/em>, book six, was published earlier in 2024.<\/p>\n

The books are available as softcover and eBook exclusively on Amazon and at the Artsy Bookworm Boutique in the Skeleton Key Arts & Antiques, Rosk Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe competition is fierce,\u201d says Kathryn \u201cKiffer\u201d Brown, founder, and CEO of Chanticleer. \u201cWe receive thousands of entries.
