With spirits high and traditions strong, a glorious parade of hunters in full holiday regalia gathers on the grounds of Tattenhall Station. But a blinding blizzard brings an early end to the sport. More disturbing: A horse soon returns without its rider. Gregory Luckham, a controversial presence as the president of a powerful energy company pushing for a pipeline through central Virginia, is the missing hunter. A search is organized for what is presumed will be a dead, frozen body. What is discovered, however, chills everyone to the bone—and points toward murder. Sister Jane will have to untangle a mystery packed as hard as snow—full of history, secrets, old wounds, and avarice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eHomeward Hound\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Cunning foxes, sensible hounds and sweet-tempered horses are among the sparkling conversationalists in this charming series.”\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Readers will be charmed by Brown’s endearing characters, animal and human, all of whom are given to philosophizing on the state of the world.”\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e—Publishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “With deep and broad knowledge of the sport, the area and the people and animals who inhabit it, [Brown] infuses \u003ci\u003eHomeward Hound\u003c\/i\u003e—and the entire series—with unmatched authenticity, Southern charm, beloved characters and engaging storylines.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe Free Lance–Star\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ballantine Books","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46403372220643,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780399178399","price":109.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780399178399.jpg?v=1748571302","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/9780399178399","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
