Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When American golfer Barry Vinson turns up dead at the British Open, golf writer John Morris and his companion, Julia Sullivan, search for clues, but when an antique golf ball is stuffed down a second murder victim's throat, they uncover a bizarre mystery as old as the game itself. Vinson could pulverize his tee shots and dazzle with his short game. But when it came to personality, the brilliant young American was strictly a duffer -- until someone took him off the course. With an antique golf ball -- a 'feathery' -- stuffed down his throat. For sportswriter John Morris and the high-spirited Julia Sullivan, it is nearly a matter of even par ... until that second savage murder is committed. Now, through all the pomp and cutthroat competition of the British Open, Morris and Sullivan desperately try to solve the bizarre mystery, taking them back through the history of Scotland itself, where golf and bloody murder are all just part of the game. Published previously in paperback by Dell, this Morris & Sullivan Mystery is at last digitally available from QP Books -- an authorized and unabridged republication, and part of the complete, acclaimed series by master mystery writer John Logue.

Book excerpt: At the Augusta National Golf Course, home of the Masters, the spring grass is green and the world's most famous golfers are gathered. It looks as if it's going to be another splendid tournament. Until Melvin Newton's body is found in Eisenhower Pond, the apparent victim of a suicide. But what looks like suicide to most, looks like murder to John Morris, a retired AP sportswriter, and his spirited, sexy friend Julia Sullivan. Newton, a wealthy businessman and elite member of the club, is the type of man to be killed, not the type to kill himself, Morris reflects. He was a man with many enemies and few friends. But the list of suspects is enormous enough for Morris to include himself. Who didn't wish this man dead? Play at the tournament progresses as does Morris's search for a killer. Then, after another inexplicable tragedy, Morris and Sullivan begin to whittle away at the possible suspects. Together, they creep around the course looking for clues and searching their memories when the trail seems to lead to an old enemy who may just turn out to be an old friend. Set against the background of the famous and toney tournament, John Logue crafts a wonderfully inventive mystery, full of rich characters, good golf, and enough plot twists to astonish. Originally published in paperback by Dell, this digital republication is an authorized and unabridged edition, presented expertly in ebook formats by Quid Pro Books.
