The man who can putt is a match for anyone’ is a golf truism.
And Brian Harley, a journeyman pro with an unsavoury past, is proving its truth, with the help of an ultra-high-tech putter.
Suddenly he’s winning tournaments and even the Open seems to be within his grasp.
But Chris Ludlow, dubbed the ‘upper-crust’ caddie by the tabloid Press, is suspicious of Harley and his associates, especially when one of his caddies ends up dead.
The caddy, Froggy Davies, was a former third-rate pro who had been having a sudden career revival.
But someone stabbed him through the neck with a golf club shaft.
And the shaft was made by Supersight - the company who made Harley’s new putter, which has given him such sudden success…
Plunged into an alarming sequence of murder and treachery, Chris Ludlow has to solve the mystery.
The clock is ticking as the final round of the Open Championship comes to a close ...
Would Harley really kill to secure his winnings?
Or is someone else trying to sabotage the tournament…?
Chris must try to solve the mystery before the perpetrators find a way to silence him – permanently.
‘Sudden Death’ is a thrilling, complex crime caper around the golf courses of Britain. It is the first of the Chris Ludlow Golf Mysteries.
