Death is a Two-Stroke Penalty [Paperback]

James Y. Bartlett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2004

Death Stalks The Fairways! Behind the scenes of the Carolinas Open, golf writer Pete Hacker is confronted with the death of an up-and-coming star. Was his death an accident? Or was it murder? A drug-dealing caddie, a desperate golf groupie and a strange, Bible-thumping chaplain are just some of the characters Hacker encounters as he tries to sort out the truth. The story turns deadly when Hacker's own life is threatened. From the first tee to the last putt, this debut Hacker golf mystery (slightly updated and revised from the original published in 1991) is an exciting trip behind the ropes of professional golf.

In this first one, Bartlett is as good as Dick Francis -- Golfweek

There are passages that fall with the sweet sound of the ball rattling in the cup. -- Chicago Tribune
