Tall Trees Catch a Lot of Wind (Soft Cover) by John Schwartz
The Belmington brothers of Middleburg, Virginia, have inherited wealth, horses, and a powerful bank. But privilege can’t shield them from greed, betrayal, and murder.
When a foxhunt ends in a suspicious death, Detective John Taylor is pulled into a web of family secrets, corruption, and a violent militia hiding in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Arnold and Charles Belmington will risk everything to protect their empire. Their brother William, a prolific and popular painter who also manages the Belmingtons’ equestrian assets, fights to save what’s left of the family name. And Arnold’s daughter, Marilyn Belmington—brilliant, ambitious, and torn between love and loyalty—may hold the key to redemption.
Thrilling and atmospheric, Tall Trees Catch a Lot of Wind is a story of wealth undone by crime, and of resilience as deep-rooted as the Virginia trees that bend but do not break.
