The Hunt by Jan Neuharth The Hunt, set in the elite foxhunting community of Middleburg, Virginia just outside Washington, D.C., tells the story of Doug Cummings, an attractive, wealthy lawyer and horseman, who is the target of a twisted but clever scheme to frame him for murder. When Doug's former lover and then his horse groom are killed, Doug becomes the prime suspect. With the media and local law enforcement breathing down his neck, Doug struggles to protect his loved ones and races to find the killer. But the evidence against Doug mounts until even his own attorney doesn't believe him. As the plot twists and turns through the picturesque countryside, it carries the reader into the mysterious, romanticized lifestyle of the old-money, tweedy, horsey set. The Hunt was a 2004 Benjamin Franklin Award Finalist and was nominated for a 2004 Library of Virginia Literary Award. |
