Sudden Death
“You like golf, you like murder mysteries – then Sudden Death is your book!”
-James Patterson
Reid Clark is a pro golfer at the top of the leader board during the PGA tour; he s also a hothead with a reputation for trouble. Reid receives a death threat right before teeing off on the final day of the Master’s Tournament, and hires a P.I. to track down the perpetrator. Suspense builds throughout as Reid tries to compete in one of golf s most prestigious contests…and woo the woman he loves…while dodging death at every turn. For sports fans and mystery lovers in general, Sudden Death will score big.

Thank you for writing Sudden Death.
Reid is a believable, flawed and ultimately likeable character. He’s unashamedly human and the empathy you create between him and the reader was fantastic. His gradual change from ‘bad boy’ to impulsive nice guy was enjoyable to read and actually made me smile. The golf passages were beautiful. I felt like I was on the fairway with them. The pressure, the feel, the elation of a sweet hit. Well presented. Made me want to get out there immediately. The climax was sharp and unexpected. I enjoyed the shock of it, …(spoiler removed) Great! And, so that you know I’m genuine: I lost track if all the security personnel. Too many without memorable personalities. Of course, I realised after a while they were incidental and there only to build the tension but for a while I tried keeping track of everyone. Often in crime novels I’m annoyed when the plot deviates from the ‘action’ or main story. In Sudden Death it was a pleasant aside, introducing some characters I hope to meet again. In particular, the photo tv shoot for Freeze. Well orchestrated and described, I could see the set and you had me completely believing this was a real promotion. Perhaps Eagle should pick up on the idea of Freeze and Heat! They’d sell millions.
Now, back home tomorrow after a brief but memorable holiday/business trip. The golf on a course well beyond my ability was pleasurable and the book will stay with me for years.
And Dead Ball for the flight home. Perfect.
