Doug Cummings, an
attractive, wealthy lawyer and expert horseman, is riding high at the top of his
career. But things change when he becomes 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.
Set in the historic and
picturesque Virginia hunt country just outside Washington, The Hunt
depicts the elite community of Middleburg and its close-knit foxhunting crowd.
Doug wonders whether the locals will band together to stand behind one of their
own, or view him as an outcast, and he's stunned to discover where the lines of
allegiance are drawn.
The books compellingly crafted
characters include Doug's beautiful but aloof female attorney, who is torn
between her feelings for Doug and her uncertainty about his innocence; a
spirited little girl whose special bond with Doug makes her the victim of a
nightmarish kidnapping; and a belligerent cop whose judgment is clouded by a
lifetime of resentment towards the wealthy equestrian gentry.
As the plot twists and turns,
The Hunt carries the reader on a gripping, fast-paced adventure packed
with love, scandal, envy, and vengeance.
