In this thrilling new foxhunting mystery from New York
Times bestselling author Rita Mae Brown, an
investigation into a missing and valuable object flushes out
murder, ghosts, and old family rivalries. Now “Sister” Jane
Arnold and a pack of four-legged friends must catch the
scent of a killer and unearth a long-buried truth.
As the calendar turns, the crisp October winds bode well for
this year’s hunting season. But before the bugle sounds,
Sister Jane takes a scenic drive up the Blue Ridge Mountains
for a board meeting at the Museum of Hounds and Hunting.
Brimming with colorful stories and mementos from hunts of
yore, the mansion is plunged into mystery when a venerable
hunting horn is stolen right out of its case. The only clue,
on a left-behind cell phone, is what seems to be a “selfie”
video of the horn’s original owner, Wesley
Carruthers—deceased since 1954.
Odder still, Wesley’s body was never found. When Sister
makes a discovery that may explain his unsolved
disappearance, it leads her back to the Jefferson Hunt at
midcentury, with her faithful hounds at her side. But as the
clues quickly mount, Sister is no longer sure if she’s
pursuing a priceless artifact, a thief, Wesley’s killer . .
. or a ghost. The only certainty is that someone wants to
put Sister off the chase—perhaps permanently.
Teeming with familiar and beloved characters, intrigue, and
the rich local history of Virginia’s horse country, Crazy
Like a Fox races toward its stunning conclusion in full cry
and packed with plenty of surprises. Once again, Rita Mae
Brown dazzles and delights in her irresistible style, with a
novel readers are certain to be crazy about.
