NOTE DE L'ÉDITEUR : The
golf course on bucolic Block Island has only nine holes, its fairways
are swaths of meadow open to gusty sea breezes, and the
« greens » are just compacted sand. Surprisingly,
Lee Ofsted, there to teach golf to the executives of a local salvage
company, doesn't mind. The setting is lovely, the rustic inn at which
she is staying is charming, and the pay — $1,000 a
day — will go a long way toward covering her expenses during
her third year on the pro tour. But will it be compensation enough for
solving a murder ?
After a bizarre, botched kidnapping of
his sexy wife, the owner of the salvage company turns up dead on the
beach. Lee can't resist doing a little nosing around, and soon
discovers that nearly every manager at the company has a motive for
murder. Plunging into the case, she asks her boyfriend, Graham Sheldon,
a former California cop, for his expert help. Before long, the two of
them are involved in a tale of greed and ruthless ambition that
stretches back in time almost two hundred years, to the sunken treasure
ship Good Hope, which went down in these very waters.
As
the pieces of the puzzle come together, Lee has to size up her
competition — just as she would in a golf match. Only this
time clutching under pressure could be fatal. For Lee Ofsted knows too
much for the killer to let her live …
