Synopsis

Mystery, humor, romance, action fiction...all driven home by a kickass thirty-something heroine. "Nicola Furlong is a wonderful new addition to the mystery world...This is an outstanding effort...as much fun as a day on the course." The Richmond Times-Dispatch Meet Riley Quinn: has-been golf pro, estranged sister, and failure at love...injured and now back at her home course struggling to rebuild her life. Unsatisfied just teaching golf, Riley’s embracing a new job as a local coroner, which fits her inquisitive and strong-willed personality to a tee. Riley’s world is complicated. Her boss Pitts is her best friend and brother-in-law, and the reason the women’s professional golf tour will soon play on her home course. Her sister Halliday is the tour’s superstar and Riley’s lifelong rival. And Riley’s boyfriend, well, Riley’s not even sure if they’re still a twosome. Riley’s life takes a dogleg spin when she discovers a dead body early one morning. Turning private detective, she digs into the suspicious death, quickly finding herself sand-wedged by a villainous environmental group and a mysterious Japanese consortium. To make matters worse, Halliday, only one win away from the Hall of Fame, wants to reconcile and begs Riley to act as her caddy. In order to survive four rounds with her high-maintenance sister and catch a cunning and ruthless murderer, Riley must face a nasty past she thought dead and buried. The chocoholic club pro quickly discovers that not all bad lies are on the golf course; unfortunately, sometimes they are much closer to family and home.
