FOLLOW THE LEADER. ISBN 978-1-61027-190-5 (eBook)

Missing at his tee time at the U.S. Open outside Atlanta is the latest leader of America’s greatest tournament. Where is he? And how does his fate relate to the apparent gruesome suicide of a teaching pro turned TV commentator? The Open compresses the lives and fortunes of the world’s greatest golfers into 72 holes. To the winner goes immortality, and upwards of a million dollars. The losers inherit a lasting obscurity. All the careful rituals and ribbings in the game conceal a deadly chemistry of money and pressure—the fear of losing, the thefts of time, the erosion of skill and nerve.

John Morris, traveling the circuit as the veteran Associated Press sports reporter, knows all too well the contradictions and vices of the game he has covered for 21 years: whose lives and skills are unraveling, whose wives are willing, whose iron ambitions are merciless. And yet the grace and geometry of golf are Morris’s life. That and Julia Sullivan. Atlanta police detective Jack Rutledge seeks only the killer and will destroy anyone, or any sport, standing in his way. The Open, and golf itself, are threatened in this gentleman’s game of death.
