Full Cry

In the third novel of her captivating foxhunting series, Rita Mae Brown welcomes readers back for a final tour of a world where most business is conducted on horseback and intrigue abounds. On New Year's Day, Sister Jane Arnold, Master of the Foxhounds, announces her new joint master and the new president of the Jefferson Hunt. But the day's festivities are quickly marred by the discovery of Sam Lorillard, former shining star and Harvard Law School alum, dead of a knife wound, lying on a baggage cart at the old train station. No one can remember when Sam started drinking, but the spiral was swift--and seemingly deadly. As Sister Jane and her huntsman, Shaker Grown, investigate what they believe is an unrelated scandal at the neighboring club, they uncover an unforseen connection to Lorillard's murder--and realize that they might not survive to see next New Year.
