STUCK FOR AN IDEA
FOR A PRESENT? WHAT
ABOUT A NOVEL?
Can't think of what to give the man or woman in your life for his or her birthday?
What better than a new book with a golf theme.
Here's one for your literary shopping list:
DOUBLE HIT
by Alec Wright
Published by Book Guilding Publishing.
Hardback: 278 pages, £16.95.
"I listened carefully in case someone out there was in trouble. I heard vague shouts and strange scuffling noises ... Deserted streets at night bred opportunities for villains ..."
Paul Calvert returns to England from Australia under a cloud. His engagement is on the rocks and his career is in tatters. He hopes to rebuild his life in a quiet, charming Dorset village but right from the start he makes enemies when he saves an elderly man from ruthless muggers.
However, he takes a job as assistant secretary of the local country golf club but, even there, he soon discovers that beneath the tranquil veneer of golf club life lie sinister undercurrents, deep-rooted grudges, crooked dealings, blackmail and violence.
Nonetheless, no one could have predicted that even minor resentments between golf club members could lead to murder - and not just one murder at that!
Instead of building an idyllic new life for himself, Paul finds that he too is in mortal danger. Can Paul survive to unmask the killer?
In Double Hit, author Alex Wright weaves a masterful tale - a plot full of twists and turns, romance and setbacks, and full of memorable characters. A gripping read for all whodunit and thriller fans - and for golf enthusiasts too.
