Corporate tycoon Thomas Redding is dead, murdered by way of antique golf club during his firm’s company retreat. His bodyguard, Warren Kingsley, is certain the killer is gunning for him now. With a list of suspects as long as a corporate tax return, and a small town sheriff well over his head in the investigation, Warren knows he has only one option to keep from ending up like his late client: hire his own bodyguard.
Together the pair will sift through the evidence - dodging femme fatales, murderous impostors and motivational speakers - eventually uncovering a devious killer; not to mention stumbling on the recipe for the perfect bowl of chowder.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bertie Wooster fans will appreciate Warren Kingsley, the inept star of this comic mystery, which will have readers chuckling. Warren has just taken on a new job, protecting businessman Thomas Redding on a trip to Berwald Island, Conn., when someone bludgeons Redding to death in his hotel room. Confined to the island due to the broken ferry and fearing for his life, Warren gets his own bodyguard in the form of short but sturdy Borodin Mahrute. The pair soon do their own sleuthing to identify Redding's killer. Young does a decent job of recreating Wodehouse's style ("It seemed pretty clear to Warren, though, that if 007 happened to stop by for the weekend it would probably turn out that Mahrute had once saved him from the clutches of a double agent, and it would only be a matter of time before the two were guzzling brandy and laughing about the good old days").
