Out of Hounds by Rita Mae Brown

Fox-chasing Virginians go up against a band of outsiders in this riveting new foxhunting mystery featuring “Sister” Jane Arnold and her incorrigible hounds, from New York Times best-selling author Rita Mae Brown.

“Sister” Jane Arnold tries to keep an open mind about the new townspeople who have moved in so close to the Jefferson Hunt Club – yet so far from its traditions. But soon, posted notices about noise, mistreating animals, and the cruelty of hunting appear. Then someone close to Sister Jane is defamed, triggering a tense atmosphere ripe with the possibility for murder.
