Death on the Eighth — Patrick Alexander

The Alhambra Golf Course is located in the heart of a genteel South Florida city. Resembling a traditional English village green, it is surrounded by the manicured lawns of magnificent houses and is the pride of the citizens of Greenhaven.But the tranquility of this urban oasis is threatened by a brash and vulgar, billionaire developer with bad hair who wishes the convert Greenhaven's precious jewel into a towering hotel multiplex onto which he can affix his name in gold letters.At the same time a well-respected local historian has been unearthing disquieting information concerning the founding of the city and the sordid origins of some of its more prominent families: bank robberies, bar-room brawls and brothels are just a part of it.And then there's the dead body, fifty yards short of the eighth green.
