Alan Saxon #1
Bullet Hole
In the world of championship golf, the stakes are high and passions run to match. And never more so than at the British Open Championship, particularly when it is played at Saint Andrews, venerable home of the game. For Alan Saxon, too long ago a champion and once again in top form, this is a crucial tournament, and he must carefully prepare himself. But his ritual is rudely interrupted by the appearance of a young, pretty golf groupie who starts by demanding a lift and ends up naked and dead in his bed. She is not the only casualty, and it fast becomes clear that someone wants Saxon out of the open. As the championship builds to its climax, at last Saxon thinks he knows who the killer is―but then he must which hole is the bullet hole?

This " freebie " has been sitting on my Kindle forever ...
It deserves a solid 4.5 stars ! Golf is not my thing , but as a backdrop in the story that really didn't matter . Strong characters and a plot that keeps you turning pages .

Weak plot, motives of protagonist often seem confused and not well thought out.
