HOTSPUR

A Sister Jane foxhunting mystery:
OUTFOXED (2000) - HOTSPUR (2002) - FULL CRY (2003) - THE HUNT BALL (2005) - THE HOUNDS AND THE FURY (2006) - THE TELL-TALE HORSE (2007) - HOUNDED TO DEATH (2008)

HOTSPUR: In HOTSPUR Rita Mae Brown returns to the fascinating world of foxhunting she brought so vividly to life in OUTFOXED.

Jane "Sister" Arnold may be in her seventies, but she shows no signs of losing her love for the Hunt. As Master of the prestigious Jefferson Hunt Club in a well-heeled Virginia Blue Ridge Mountain town, she is the most powerful and revered woman in the county. She can assess the true merits of a man or a horse with uncanny skill. In short, Sister Jane is not easily duped.
Hotspur brings all of Rita Mae Brown's storytelling gifts to the fore. It's a tale of Southern small-town manners and rituals, a compelling and intricate murder mystery, and a look at the human/animal relationship in all its complexity and charm.
