Description
Paul Calvert returns to England from Australia, his engagement broken,
his career wrecked. He seeks a new life in a quiet Dorset village. But he witnesses a savage mugging by young thugs, and in saving the
victim makes enemies of the muggers. At the local golf club, where he
takes a job, longstanding grudges surface, culminating in the death of
a senior member. The police do not suspect foul play, but Paul has
other ideas, and begins to make enquiries. He finds many suspects with
motives for murder. Events now take a more sinister turn as Paul
uncovers a fake antiques racket and is swept into a world of intrigue
and danger – with his own life at risk.
A murdered body is found near the golf course, shocking club members
again. The Paul receives a chilling threat: get out of the village
within three days… or be killed.

Golf club politics are dealt with in an entertaining and plausible
fashion. The story moves along at a decent pace to a denouement you
probably didn't see coming. It's a pretty good tale. If you're a golfer
as well that will add to the enjoyment.
Golf International
