2015., General, HarperCollins Canada Call No: Bio L568d Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Former RCMP officer Deanna Lennox courageously shares her own story of job-induced trauma, anger and disillusionment and reveals the events that eventually pushed her mind, body and spirit to the breaking point. But this is a story not only of high-speed car chases, drug busts and the author's time posing undercover, but more importantly, what came after - how an angry and bitter cop's relationship with a horse helped her heal the psychological wounds she incurred in the line of duty. Damage Done chronicles Lennox's momentous change and the steps she took to reach out to other first responders by creating the annual War Horse Symposium, a forum to discuss occupational stress injuries, and the non-profit charitable organization the War Horse Awareness Foundation. With the symposium and with this book, Lennox aims to inspire rather than to blame and to add her voice to an emerging conversation about how to protect those who put themselves on the front line for us."-- From publisher.

To set things right, Virgil must escape and find Mickey's killer himself.
