Murder on the Tour

Golf is a gentleman's game until players turn up dead.

Tour rookie Kevin Turner is within one bad bounce of quitting. If he fails to win a check in Las Vegas, he's out of money and down the road. Foot, his semi-retired businessman caddie will let him go, too. He hates quitters. Just before the first round, ambitious tour official Bill Henson complicates Kevin's life by asking help to nab a suspected cheat, veteran player Ben Amaya. Amaya's disenchanted wife throws herself into the mixture when she finds Kevin in an out of the way bar.

It is Tour golf with a few murders, a beautiful woman, a rich caddie and a desperate rookie.

Also by Robert Brown, the novel Mayhem at the Open and the definitive book on enjoying golf, The Way of Golf and The Golf Gods: Who They Are, What They Want and How to Appease Them.
Note: Feel free to correct Sir Nick Faldo when he calls them "golfing gods" on TV. A fair number of them don't play golf.
