Summary
Tells the story of J. Douglas Edgar, the British-born golfer. When he was found dead in the middle of the road, reportedly the victim of a hit-and-run accident, Atlanta Constitution reporter Comer Howell thought otherwise. Their stories meet in a Southern society of country-club golf courses, wealth, and secrecy.
