Angela Hartwell was dead, strangled, with not a mark on her.

When a well-known local socialite’s body is found during a round of golf with his father, Harry Starke suddenly finds himself embroiled in what quickly becomes a very thorny murder investigation.

Who killed Angela Hartwell and why?

The answers lie somewhere along a twisty-windy path through the patrons and morals of an exclusive golf club where the members are seldom what they seem, and their goals are infinitely more complicated than a simple round of golf.

Harry Starke’s investigation takes him into a world he’s very familiar with. A world of affluence, privilege, and corruption.

To solve the mystery of Angela’s murder, he must deal with two more murders, a wily used car dealer, her twin sisters, and a crooked banker, not to mention “Burke” and “Hare,” two crazy repo guys who will stop at nothing to protect their employer’s interests.

Blair Howard is a Royal Air Force veteran, a retired journalist, and the bestselling author of more than fifty novels, including the internationally bestselling Harry Starke series.

Since 2015, Tom Lennon has produced over 100 audiobooks in a variety of genres. Today he works primarily in the genres of detective mystery, nonfiction, thriller, and memoir. A graduate of Stevens Institute of Technology with an engineering degree, Tom's day job for thirty-five-plus years was in sales and marketing with several Fortune 500 Companies in the HVAC Industry, where he has given thousands of presentations to groups from 5 to 5,000. Tom was born and raised in Northern New Jersey. After college he worked for a few years in Richmond, Virginia, before being transferred to Pennsylvania, where he still resides in the western suburbs of Philadelphia. When not in the studio being interrupted by a tuxedo cat named Oreo, Tom can frequently be found in or under his 1972 Mercury Cougar.
