<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The chase is on in <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Rita Mae Brown's gripping foxhunting mystery, featuring the irrepressible "Sister" Jane Arnold and the wily antics of her four-legged friends. In <i>Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, </i>a century-old crime reawakens bad will--and stirs up a scandal that chills Sister to the bone.</b> <p/> Sister Jane and the Jefferson Hunt Club have traveled from Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains to the Bluegrass State of Kentucky to ride with the members of the Woodford Hounds--in the teeth of foul weather. Sister knows better than anyone that an ill wind blows no good. <p/> After the hunt, Sister Jane and her boyfriend, Gray Lorillard, head to a sumptuous party on a nearby estate, also home to a historic equine graveyard. The revelry is interrupted by jarring news: The discovery of grisly remains in the cemetery that are decidedly not equine. <p/> Now Sister and her hounds are on the case, digging up clues to an old murder that links three well-connected Southern families. When mayhem follows the Jefferson Hunt back to Virginia, the deadly doings become all too real: A dear friend of Sister's is found murdered. Sister and her animal friends must work fast to find a clever killer determined to keep deep-rooted secrets buried. <p/> A rollicking, riveting mystery, <i>Let Sleeping Dogs Lie</i> is a masterly novel full of colorful characters, gorgeous country landscapes, and the breathtaking thrill of the hunt. <p/><b>Praise for <i>Let Sleeping Dogs Lie</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br>"A knotty murder mystery . . .
