The chase is on in New York Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brownâ€™s gripping new foxhunting mystery, featuring the irrepressible â€œSisterâ€ Jane Arnold and the wily antics of her four-legged friends. In Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, a century-old crime reawakens bad willâ€”and stirs up a scandal that chills Sister to the bone.
Â
Sister Jane and the Jefferson Hunt Club have traveled from Virginiaâ€™s Blue Ridge Mountains to the Bluegrass State of Kentucky to ride with the members of the Woodford Houndsâ€”in the teeth of foul weather. Sister knows better than anyone that an ill wind blows no good.
Â
After the hunt, Sister Jane and her boyfriend, Gray Lorillard, head to a sumptuous party on a nearby estate, also home to a historic equine graveyard. The revelry is interrupted by jarring news: The discovery of grisly remains in the cemetery that are decidedly not equine.
Â
Now Sister and her hounds are on the case, digging up clues to an old murder that links three well-connected Southern families. When mayhem follows the Jefferson Hunt back to Virginia, the deadly doings become all too real: A dear friend of Sisterâ€™s is found murdered. Sister and her animal friends must work fast to find a clever killer determined to keep deep-rooted secrets buried.
Â
A rollicking, riveting mystery, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie is a masterly novel full of colorful characters, gorgeous country landscapes, and the breathtaking thrill of the hunt.
