Publisher Description
He was young and talented -- a golfing phenom with the whole world in his hands ... and a killer on his trail.
He made the whole world go weak at the knees. With his skill, grace, and innocence, PGA Tour prodigy Buddy Martin even won over the cynical press corps. And with legions of fans following his every move, Buddy Martin was headed for the promised land: a victory at this year's U.S. Open on Long Island's famous and historic Shinnecock Hills golf course.
But somewhere between the fairways and the sea -- between the fog that rolled in at night and the fates that haunt heroes -- tragedy would strike Buddy and the one person who really knew him. Now legendary golf writer John Morris and his sexy friend Julia Sullivan are delving into the life and times of a golfing great. And what they find is a story more amazing than the myth itself: a story of love, loss, and gruesome murder.
Published previously in paperback by Dell Publishing Group, this Morris & Sullivan Mystery is now digitally available from QP Books, an imprint of Quid Pro. This is an authorized and unabridged republication, and Number 7 in the complete, acclaimed series by master mystery writer John Logue.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Shinnecock Hills golf course on Long Island is the perfect backdrop for Logue's fifth installment (after Follow the Leader) in his Morris and Sullivan mystery series. Attending the 1995 U.S. Open, the journalist duo is immediately caught up in the excitement surrounding Buddy Morrow, golf's latest phenom. Despite unscrupulous agents, manufacturer's reps and a bloodthirsty press all vying for his attention, Morrow manages to keep his cool, tie for second-round lead in the Open and sign a $2-million deal with a sporting goods company. When Morrow turns up dead that night, the list of suspects is long--and the shocking secret about his true identity is revealed. The sheriff considers the case closed after Morrow's wife commits suicide, but John Morris and Julia Sullivan suspect her death was no confession and so begin their own investigation. Despite Logue's heavy dose of golf terminology, trivia and history--which will be appreciated by golf fans but may distract other readers--this is a clever, racy mystery.
