Four devoted duffers in league with a homicide cop solve two murders and a suspicious drowning---while still finding the time to improve their swingsGolf shares equal time with murder when a retired Classics professor, a fashion photographer, and a hard-nosed Manhattan lawyer team up with a homicide cop who shares their suspicions of a suicide. Set primarily in East Hampton, the sleuths' trails lead them to a Canadian Indian reservation and a mysterious Caribbean resort.
Review: "I've never lifted a golf club, but I've read hundreds of murder mysterires, and none had more wit and charm than Shooting for Par."
---Parker Ladd, producer and former executive director of the Association of American Publishers
"Confirmed golf addicts such as myself will love this breezy murder mystery. It humorously captures the obsession with the game as it spins a solid tale of intrigue in the Hamptons."
---Rees Jones, golf-course architect
"A wonderfully engaging, cleverly plotted, multiple-murder mystery that will keep even the sharpest sleuth/reader guessing all the way. In addition to the book's many other attractions, its crucial use of ancient Greek literature is ingenious."
---Gilbert Rose, the Susan Lippincott Professor of Classical Languages, Swarthmore College
"Anyone who enjoys the game of golf will get a big kick out of this book."
---Eddie Merrins, long-time pro and director of golf at the Bel Air Country Club
