“Hounded” is the January Book Selection. The group meets in the parlor at Knox.

Andy Carpenter isn’t sure what to think when he gets a mysterious phone call from a good friend, policeman Pete Stanton, asking him to drop everything, drive to an unfamiliar address and bring his girlfriend, Laurie Collins. He certainly wasn’t expecting to show up at a crime scene. “Hounded” is at once a heartfelt story about family and a page-turning legal thriller.
