A Tight Lie — Don Dahler

Huck Doyle is a professional golfer, a PGA "middler" who just manages to hold onto his tour card as he plays the small tournaments on the circuit. He also happens to be the son of a disgraced LAPD cop, a law school grad without a license to practice, and a registered private investigator. When Joniel Baker, a high profile baseball player, claims that he's been wrongly accused of murder, he asks his friend Doyle to get involved, to fly under the radar and find out things that the police can't--or won't.

Though everything about Joniel and his whereabouts on the night of the murder points to his guilt, Huck decides to take on the case, "because he finds murder investigations a nice distraction from the violent and depressing world of the PGA."

With the speed of Tiger Wood's swing, Don Dahler has joined the ranks of Tim Green and Mike Lupica in writing riveting mysteries with a dash of sports. Perfect for thriller readers and golf fans, A Tight Lie
