Thrill of the hunt : a novel  Cover Image Book Book

Thrill of the hunt : a novel / Rita Mae Brown ; illustrated by Lee Gildea.

Brown, Rita Mae, (author.). Gildea, Lee, Jr., (illustrator.).

Summary:

A blackmailer targeting wealthy members of "Sister" Jane Arnold's club has turned the hunters into the hunted. It's the start of fox hunting season and Sister is training a new generation of hounds in eager anticipation of Opening Hunt. But before they make it to that exciting day, several members of the hunt club receive ominous videos in which they appear to be doing scandalous, career-ending deeds. The videos are doctored, but does it matter? The unknown blackmailer promises to publish the clips if he or she doesn't get paid, and even the most upstanding citizen can be brought down by the court of public opinion. While Sister and her friends try to unmask the dastardly mind behind the videos, mysteries abound in their beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain town home. Two men die, apparently by suicide, shocking a community that never saw their deaths coming. And rumors abound that Old Paradise, the estate being lovingly restored by Crawford Howard, houses a secret stash of gold from its original owner. Does someone want the treasure badly enough to kill for? Sister and her fellow Jefferson Hunt Club members, including friends both two- and four-legged, are on the case--and with any luck, they'll catch the criminals before the first horn sounds on Opening Day"-- Provided by publisher.
