English term or phrase: No way of Know which hound will hunt
Hola quisiera saber cómo traducir esta frase al español, literalmente la entiendo, pero quisiera saber si existe alguna frase hecha con respecto a ella de la cual yo ignore. La frase la saqué de un libro de Kathy Reichs Devil Bones.
Acá les dejo por las dudas un fragmento de la parte donde aparece esta frase:
"Could America find a new beginning? Could we return to a time when we all felt safe? Protected? Confident in our values and our purpose? Tolerant of customs and belief systems we didn’t understand?
Charlie?
Ryan?
Mr. Right?
How would my sister, Harry, put it?
NO WAY OF KNOWING WHICH HOUND WILL HUNT."

Explanation:
Devil Bones es una novela de suspenso y terror de Kathy Reich; me imagino que la frase debe venir del temor a la inseguridad creada por los tétricos acontecimientos.
