Award finalist in the mystery/suspense category of USA Book News Best Books 2010 awards
When
word reaches her in war-torn Afghanistan that her beloved Uncle Richard
has been brutally murdered, globe-trotting photojournalist Abigale
Portmann reluctantly abandons her assignment and returns to the rolling
hills and rocky relationships of her past in the picturesque equestrian
community of Middleburg, Virginia—a place she has painstakingly avoided
for 17 years. While the sheriff thinks the murder is a random robbery
gone bad, Abigale soon becomes convinced her uncle was slain by someone
he knew. Suspicion swirls among colorful characters in the tweedy,
foxhunting crowd, including a superficial nouveau riche social climber,
the lazy heir to an old-money fortune, and, most painfully to Abigale,
her former childhood sweetheart. As the gripping plot unfolds, friends
become suspects and family ties are tested, until events spin out of
control and the riveting tale races to a terrifying finish.
