Some come to Pebble Beach to play golf. Some come to be seen. And this year, at least one person has come to kill.... It's January in the golden era of golf. Nicklaus wishes he were home with the kids. Weiskopf is ready to make a charge, and so is a bell-bottomed blond named Miller. In the world of golf and the realm of fame, nothing matches the Bing Crosby Pro-Am tournament, played at America's most extraordinary golf course—Pebble Beach—and drawing starlets, stars, and billionaires by invitation only. But this year the wind and rains won't stop. And a corporate tycoon has dropped dead in The Lodge, crowded with celebrities. For jaded veteran golf writer John Morris and his beautiful globe-trotting muse Julia Sullivan, it's more than a dramatic story: it's a black eye on golf's most stellar event. Now, as Morris and Sullivan try to solve the murder, they find a collision of ambition, talent, and greed that reaches from the golden days of Hollywood to the windswept Monterey Peninsula—where a killer's game has just begun.... Originally published in paperback by Dell, this digital republication is an authorized and unabridged edition, presented expertly in ebook formats by Quid Pro Books. It includes active Contents, close proofreading from the original, and proper formatting, unlike many such digital reprints. Number 6 in the acclaimed Morris & Sullivan Mystery series.
