PGA pro and part time private detective Jack Austin, feels great having won his first victory after a decade on the tour. However, his euphoria ends when his former caddy, Curry College football player Nash Henley needs his help. In Milton, Massachusetts, someone battered and executed Nash's estranged biological father, Owen Henley. Jack agrees to investigate in between two tournaments because Nash is like a son to him, with dyslexia serving as a link between them.
Jack and his best friend, PGA security guard Darcy Perkins, make inquiries that upset several people. This includes thugs willing to harm Jack's wife and two-year-old son. Jack feels like he has toured New England, but has not made progress towards identifying the killer, as there are more suspects than holes at the Buick Classic Golf Course.
BAD LIE is a fun sports noir that combines Jack's personal life, his professional tour life, and the investigation into a solid tale with several snap hooks and sand traps. Jack is terrific, although the number of suspects and what he learns about the deceased cuts to the center of the motive, but so many suspects abound with reason to mash Owen. John R. Corrigan provides a fine golfing murder mystery.
