What to expect
Angela Hartwell was dead, strangled, with not a mark on her.
When a well-known local socialite’s body is found during a round of golf with his father, Harry Starke suddenly finds himself embroiled in what quickly becomes a very thorny murder investigation.
Who killed Angela Hartwell and why?
The answers lie somewhere along a twisty-windy path through the patrons and morals of an exclusive golf club where the members are seldom what they seem, and their goals are infinitely more complicated than a simple round of golf.
Harry Starke’s investigation takes him into a world he’s very familiar with. A world of affluence, privilege, and corruption.
To solve the mystery of Angela’s murder, he must deal with two more murders, a wily used car dealer, her twin sisters, and a crooked banker, not to mention “Burke” and “Hare,” two crazy repo guys who will stop at nothing to protect their employer’s interests.
