Rare golf detective novel by "one of the foundation writers of golf literature...Of his nearly twenty mysteries, the author wrote only one known to contain anything regarding golf" - Taylor. Murdoch writes "Mr. Hutchinson deserves more than just a few words for himself because he was a very important contributor to golfing history, in addition to its literature." Hutchinson was a championship golfer, golf course designer and prolific author. Golfing great Bernard Darwin once penned "Horace was so noteworthy of a figure as a pioneer of golf that people are apt to forget his achievements as a player. Gift with a style dashing and flamboyant rather than orthodox, which he innocently preached in his books...he was the master of every kind of difficult shot...he was one of the great golfers." Taylor, The Golf Murders, p.114; Donovan & Murdoch 22010; also see Murdoch pp.113-4.
