Book Description

May 1, 1995
Right in the midle of the Metropolitan Golf championship, lawyer-turned-golf pro Kieran Lenahan is whisked away by police for questioning, regarding the murder of a millionaire country club owner. While the cops don't really suspect Kieran, they are interested in questioning the ex-juvenile delinquent he has taken under his wing.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The pseudonymous Daly, a practicing attorney, scores a birdie with this spirited first mystery, set in the world of pro-am golf. Kieran Lenahan, the golf pro at Milton Country Club in Westchester County, N.Y., has just earned a berth in a local PGA tournament when the police inform him that the body of one of his club's co-owners has been fished out of a water hazard. Lenahan, a former lawyer, is stunned to hear he has been named in the dead man's will and designated to evaluate a set of rare Blitzklubs, legendary clubs made by the Nazis, for the estate. Then the clubs are stolen, and Lenahan's young shop assistant, a reforming juvenile delinquent, is arrested for the murder. As Lenahan searches for the clubs, tries to free his assistant and prepares to play his opening PGA round, he stumbles on the dead man's marital problems and a case of sibling rivalry. Both seem to supply perfect motives for murder?until Lenahan uncovers the true culprit. Even non-golfers will delight in Lenahan's love of the game and the fairway world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Involved plotting, April 3, 2001

This review is from: Local Knowledge (Paperback)
Very nice first mystery about a club golf pro. Has a complex plot with many characters. The hero is described well, but some of the mystery is generated by the abbreviated treatment of the other characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Murder Mystery, April 19, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Local Knowledge (Paperback)
Moves fast. Interesting characters with motive and opportunity. A lawyer turned Golf Pro, has the right mix of Golf sense and a sixth sense to boot! Murder on the Golf course seems so unlikely, that you must find out "who done it".
