PRO-GOLFER AND AMATEUR SLEUTH LEE OFSTED KNOWS MURDER TO A TEE...

AT TWENTY-THREE, LEE OFSTED HAS HER FIRST SHOT AT WINNING ON THE WOMEN'S PRO CIRCUIT AT A MATCH IN NEW MEXICO. UNFORTUNATELY HER CHANCES ARE SHORT-CIRCUITED WHEN SHE FINDS A BODY ON THE FAIRWAY AFTER A THUNDERSTORM AND GETS INJURED PLAYING GOOD SAMARITAN. LIGHTNING HAS STRUCK THE MOST HATED MAN IN TOWN, AND THE REAL SHOCKER IS THE CORONER'S RULING: THE DEATH WAS NO ACCIDENT.

WHO DID IT -- AND HOW? LEE HAS AN INTUITIVE TALENT FOR SPOTTING SLICK GREENS, TRICKY DOGLEGS, TREACHEROUS SAND TRAPS, AND NASTY MOTIVES FOR MURDER. AND SOON SHE TEAMS UP WITH HER LOVER, CALIFORNIA COP GRAHAM SHELDON, FOR A SNOOPING TWOSOME. BUT HUNTING A CLEVER KILLER CAN LAND LEE IN A HAZARD OR TWO, AND THE PENALTY MAY BE MORE THAN A ROTTEN LIE. IT MAY BE ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH -- HER OWN.
