| At the bucolic Mount Holyoke College
campus, Cassie Burdette is steeling her nerves for the U.S Women's Open,
the most prestigious - and toughest - women's golf event in the world.
She's already rattled by the absence of Laura, her favorite caddie, but
then a rival is poisoned and Cassie begins receiving strange e-mails and
messages. It seems that in high-stakes golf, competition can truly be
murder. |

Book Excerpt:
"...Two reporters broke off from
the outer fringes of the mob and headed my way.
'Miss Burdette, are you planning to accept the offer to play in
the PGA's Buick Championship? A fellow in an Atlanta Braves cap
and a striped polo reached toward me with a small, portable tape
recorder. Then he laughed. 'And a follow-up to that question,
please: did you find any dead bodies out on the course today?'
'Cassie! What's your game plan for a play-off for the final
position if it's needed?' This man stood short and squat, his
pen poised above his notebook.
'Sorry guys. I'm not feeling so great.'
turned and bolted toward the clubhouse. My heart banged against my chest
and I gasped for air. Then I was choking and grabbing at the
pain that gripped my heart and squeezed. A heart attack, I was
sure of it..." |

Product Reviews:
"Fast-paced and absorbing, this is a series you will
want to have ready in the bag for a rainy day."

Don't let the "Golf Lover's Mystery"
label scare you off if you aren't a fan of the sport. I've been
a fan of Cassie's since her debut and I'm of the Mark Twain
"golf is a good walk spoiled" persuasion.
She's often maddening, but also very real and someone about whom
you care. The puzzles she solves strike a nice balance between
being solvable (the author plays fair) but not too easy. And if
you are interested in golf, you'll really enjoy the insider's
view of what it's like to be part of the pro tour. Recommended.
